First round of interview is with a recruiter where they go over the shift types they are hiring for. 2A is alternating Saturday, Sun/Mon/Tue 7PM-7:30AM and 2B is alternating Saturday, Wed/Thu/Fri 7PM-7:30AM. They go over the benefits and ask simple behavioral questions for the first round.

Question 1
Describe a time you made an error at work and what you did to fix it?
Started with screening call with HR, then a meeting with the hiring manager and other team members. Was asked about company values. The format otherwise was casual and inspired good conversation.

Interview
It was long and drawn out. 3 separate Zoom interviews, and then it took almost 2 months for a decision. The Zoom interviews seemed to be repetitive, the same questions from 3 different people in the lab.
