The first interview step was a phone screening with three researchers followed by an on-site interview from approximately 8am to 5pm that included 30-minute interviews with a 1.5 hour lunch...which was also an interview.

The process was long and scattered. But I was able to do the phone and site visit after 2.5 months of application. The position description does not match the actual role. So make sure you ask in details. When I learned about the actual role on site, I was not as interested because it wasn't a good match. The project director asked why my cover letter was so short, and seemed to doubt the decisions I made in my career paths. Her questions also seemed to test and challenge me in an unfriendly way. The peer interview was very casual and cordial. I enjoyed it.
