I filled a questionnaire and received an email that the hiring manager was interested in conducting an interview with me. I scheduled a phone interview which went well and the hiring manager decided to include me in the second round of interviews which took place in person at the office where I would be working. The interview was more like a "get to know you" type of conversation and it was not too formal or uncomfortable. It took about 30-40 minutes. I thought that I was going to be selected for the role since I was asked to submit employer contact info/references. I'm not sure if the other candidates were stronger or if a former employer may have said something that would have somehow kept me from getting the job, but I was very disappointed when I wasn't accepted for the role. The interviews themselves were straight forward and pleasant, but I did not like that I was put in a position where I had to notify my boss that I made it to the final round and would possibly be leaving if I got the job only to not get it. Awkward!!

HR interview then meeting with lab manager. Pretty laid back, mostly behavioral questions. Walk through your resume. Simple behavioral questions such as describe the hardest thing you’ve had to overcome.
