Application

I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Columbia University in Mar 2025

Interview

Fairly straightforward. Process took two months from application to official offer. One virtual interview and one in person interview each with the hiring managers. About a week or so after the second interview, HR called to let me know I was a finalist and they would proceed with the reference and background check. They called me with updates at every stage of the process.
