Chicago, ILPosted Jan 2025 · Candidate report, summarized by Dataford

After a phone call that started with HR and the hiring manager, I moved into an in-person panel interview.

The format ended up being mostly technical, with the panelists drawing most of the conversation into research and role-relevant problem solving rather than a lot of behavioral talk.

The panel experience itself varied in size, but the overall rhythm was the same: either a one-on-one setup or a group with multiple senior scientists. I remember the tone feeling fairly direct—questions were aimed at how I thought technically and whether my background matched what they needed. The process didn’t feel meandering; it was very interview-forward and focused on getting to answers.
