Hiring process was very thorough. It began with a phone interview to gauge interest and experience followed by an on-site interview. In the on-site interview, I was interviewed by 4 people who were friendly. There is also an 'exam' where you read a patent and they ask you questions to see if you can learn and understand. It also gives you an idea of what the job is kind of like. Patent work isn't for everyone.

Hiring process was very fast with about two weeks between a phone screen, an on-site interview and a job offer. The organization of the interview was highly professional. All travel expenses and hotel were paid by the company. I received my interview itinerary a couple of days before the day of the interview and had a plenty of time to prepare. A was asked a lot about my research experience and gave an hour-long presentation about my graduate work. My interviewers also administered two hour-long assignments during which I was expected to read a patent or two and write a brief summary of my analysis.
