The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Natera (Austin, TX) in Sep 2023
Interview
I applied at Natera online and was contacted the next day by a recruiter to schedule a 30 minute phone call. I was asked a few basic questions like my experience, salary expectations, and how soon I could begin working. Two weeks later I followed up with the recruiter to ask if the position had been filled since I had not heard anything and was told that I was not selected for an interview. However, the next day I received an email from the recruiting coordinator to schedule my onsite interview. I'm guessing there was some sort of communication issue, but I was happy to have another chance for the position. That following week I had a one-on-one in person interview although I was told it was to be a panel interview of three people. It wasn't a big deal to me, but I can see how that might bother other interviewees. One thing that I think is important to know about this position that was not listed on the job description is that employees are required to work one weekend day as well as holidays. Just something to keep in mind if you're thinking about applying.

Interview
Five minutes I applied, a recruiter asked me to fill out a questionnaire about my skills and experience and whether or not I was willing to accept a salary of $20.50-$22. After submitting, recruiter emailed me again to schedule an interview with the team. The interview was with two people a supervisor and manager (i think). They did not ask any technical questions. A lot of behavioral questions, what I want to see in a supervisor, and my career goals and why I want to work there. They emphasized that the work is like working in a factory and it’s always busy.

Question 1
How do you handle a conflict with another coworker?
I had my interview over the phone. It lasted briefly for about 15 minutes. Afterwards they had me set up a date for a second interview over zoom. The initial interview felt more like a screening process for initial applicants rather than a traditional interview.
