The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at The Broad Institute in Nov 2021
Interview
Annoying, disrespectful process overall. The had me do a coding exam, and a "one way video interview" and have previous employers fill out a form and answer questions as references. This took up quite a lot of my time, and previous employers' time. They then gave me a roughly half hour interview, which basically covered what is on my resume and seemed to go fine. I got an automated rejection email later that day with no explanation whatsoever.
