(1) Initial HR screen, (2) then hiring manager, and then (3) full round, which consists of a 1 hr seminar with 5-7 thirty minute individual interviews. All virtual. Pretty straightforward behavioral questions; the interview panel reads preset recommended questions.

I was interviewed for a Med Chem Scientist position, PhD entry level. The interview process is quick, smooth, and professional. I had a HR screen (30-min video call) followed by the HM interview (30-min video call). The second round is done virtually, consisted of a 45-min pre, followed by 5 or 6 one-on-ones (30 min each, 1 HR and the others scientists). Everyone is pretty nice and chill.

It was the first round of interview. The HR personnel didn't provide a specific time to call, rather he gave a 2 hour window when he will call. Then he called me after 2.5 hours. It tells about the professionalism of the company I guess. Then the interview went well. The HR acted as if he could hire me on the spot if he could. Keeping me on the phone, he was looking for a date for the 2nd interview. Then he said he will let me know the time by the end of the day for the next interview. And that was it. No more emails or communication from him. I emailed 2/3 times in following weeks, but didn't get a ingle response. This tells so much about the company.
Overall smooth interview process with a lot of one on ones for Q and A (including with senior leaderships) from both ends. Interview travel cost is cover in full for lodging and travel.
