Had one interview with the hiring manager over Teams. The interview proceeded smoothly with a range of questions, from the technical to the more broad. The person conducting the interview was polite and very qualified.

Entretien
I have been looking for jobs on the past two months and interviewed with over 8 companies, and none of the companies had an interview process as nice as the one at Pacbio. Everybody was super nice and made sure to show me how important my presence at the company would be. Everybody seemed to be happy to be working there. The HR person was super friendly and answered all my questions.

Question 1
What are advantages of PacBio sequencing? Have you already worked with PacBio data? Why pacbio and not other company? How did I deal with conflicts? For the most part there were no technical question. It was pretty much going over my resume and chatting about my experience with ~9 people (1:1)

Entretien
After sending my application I was asked to do 3 telephone interviews. Each of them was with a Bioinformatician/group leader and took about 30 minutes. There were about 2 weeks between each contact. I also sent a code sample of a C++ data structure that I had implemented. All interviewers addressed software development skills, unit tests, debugging, agile development and teamwork.
Even though I felt I had given a good answer to most questions, my application was rejected and I was not invited for an in-person interview in the US.
