I applied to the database position through an internal referral email at my research lab at school. The team leader reached out to me about 20 days after I sent the email and we had an informal meeting the next day about what the position entails and what is expected. We also went over some of my background. He is really nice and even give me some advice on my future interviews with the rest of his team. I received and finished the OA the next weekend, got perfect score on it, and scheduled interviews the following week. Both interviewers are really nice and asked standard questions. They were mostly trying to see if my background matched with what they are working on at their team. received offer the following week.
