Zoom call with the hiring manager. I would say this was the worst interview I had. The hiring manager just kept asking very specific technical questions that felt like a quiz and felt like she was being aggressive. My overall impression was that they don't really care about the individual but want a second pair of hands to do the work. I don't see how anyone would want to join the company after this experience.

Interview
The interview process consisted of multiple rounds and was very well organized and structured. Each stage was clearly communicated, and the conversations flowed smoothly from one step to the next. I found the overall experience to be straightforward and comfortable, which made it easy to focus on discussing my background, experience, and interests in the role.
Everyone involved in the process was very friendly and welcoming, which created a positive and professional atmosphere throughout the interviews. The discussions felt natural and collaborative, and I appreciated the opportunity to meet the team and learn more about their work. Overall, the process went very well and left me with a very good impression of the organization and the people involved.
I had an initial conversation with the hiring manager and was then invited to move forward to a panel interview, where I presented some of the research I’ve worked on.

Question 1
One of the questions they asked was what excited me most about the role
Interviewed twice with the same group for different roles. I had a 1hr interview with Hiring manager. Then a 2, 1 hr technical panel interviews. There were no behavioural questions. The questions weren't remotely hard, as the work they were doing was copy-paste my whole career.
I was ghosted both times after the panel interviews which consisted of the same people. I was really excited about the role.
