Interview
Full day back to back interview with few members. Mostly talked about PhD work. They had one general IQ question to see how I am thinking logically (What all reasons you can think for manhole cover being round instead of other shape). Overall experience was pretty good. They gave the offer within 2 weeks

Interview
Phone Interview was about 35-40 minutes long. Questions were mostly about my research project and the types of equipment I used for research. At the end of the phone interview, within an hour, I received an email with the on-site interview invitation.
After about 5 weeks, the On-site interview started at 7:50 am and ended by 5 pm. I had 13 one-on-one interviews that lasted 30 mins each. I had a 1-hour research presentation in front of a group of 20-25 employees. Lunch was an informal meeting of 1.5 hours with 3 other employees.
I took with me the printouts of my research presentation slides that was very helpful in explaining my work during the one-on-one interviews.
