Pretty normal for any academic institution. Dependent on individual group leaders or PI and their group culture, can't really compare bc of that. Lab I interviewed at was ok, but other friends had bad experiences.

Application

I applied through college or university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Howard Hughes Medical Institute (New York, NY) in Oct 2015

Interviewed at research lab not on hhmi campus, so it's hard to say about hhmi interviews. For this lab the interview involved a presentation and talking to several people in the lab, and the PI.
