3 Round interview. First an introductory call with Hiring Manager. Second Call with Computational Biologist. Third was on-site interview where you spoke with 3 different members of the team. Last interview was with the CEO.
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Cofactor Genomics (Saint Louis, MO) in Oct 2011
Interview
Got referred through a friend. Submitted some sample code, got a phone interview from the CEO. Then scheduled onsite. It was a lunch interview with some onsite interviews. I found myself to have the exact skill sets they are looking for. The CEO and I had read lots of the same books on bioinformatics. So, we had a great conversation. The onsite interview was mostly just talking with people from all sorts of roles, such as sales, programmers, scientists, directors, etc, just to make sure your personality fits in the company culture. I would say, it was relaxed and polite.
