I interviewed at Harvard Medical School (Boston, MA)
Interview
4 rounds of interviews. The first round with core team members, the second round with lab members. The questions were easy and mostly about getting to know each other and how we could potentially work together. The technical assessments were two Python problems that were open-ended but not too difficult. Last round was meeting with the PI.

Great interview process and very responsive to the process. Had 3 rounds and a standard data curation test. Met with data curation team and then PI and final with admin.
