Interview
You start with an HR interview of about 20 mins (all the basics, like why you're interested in the company and your background), you progress to a 15 min interview with your hiring manager (to see if its worth bringing you in to the office for an in-person interview). The in-person or final interview is a day-long series of 50 minute interviews with a series of people (some individually, some in pairs, and some remotely by phone or skype) plus a research presentation at a brownbag. The day starts with your hiring manager, progresses to speaking with potential colleagues and senior colleagues, includes a lunch with junior colleagues, and ends with the senior manager of your division, usually a VP. Questions are routine - they feel you out, they like when you ask questions, it's best when it's a conversation, you should demonstrate your knowledge of the broader field.
