Overall process took ~2 months, which, for such a small organization, is quite strange. The first three rounds of the interview process were simple and standard - lots of "how would you handle this type of situation" questions. The company then expects you to, in a week, develop a presentation solving what seemed to be a very real business problem. And this presentation is intense. There is an assignment due 3-4 days after the prompt is released to you, and then you present your findings to a panel exactly one week after. During the presentation, expect to know about Project Management, business strategy, FDA guidance on AI / ML models, operating in a partnership environment, computational chemistry and biological models, and Drug Development for PROTACs. Developing these presentations / assignments along with learning about anything you are unaware of from the list above is an intense, full time process. Expect to take at minimum, 20 hours on doing this. Overall, the people seemed nice to work with and seemed very personable. I cannot comment on the benefits, but here were the major red flags that I had during the interview process: (1) Everyone I talked to 'too busy' or 'burnt out'. I asked all of my individual interviewers about the overall workload compared to the minimal amount of people working at the organization (multiple partnerships with only 40 people working there) and all of them described being overworked and understaffed. (2) The presentation was written like a case study and seemed like they were trying to get me to solve their current problems - like the review below me, it felt like they were trying to get free work out of their interviewees.
