1) Informal Interview 2) Company Note 3) Industry Note I found the job through a recruiter. The hiring process was taking forever. I found another job, while they were still trying to make up their mind. The hours are extreme. One can find better hours and higher compensation at other shops.

One round interview with research team that lasted three hours. First interview had technical questions and the remaining time was spent on fit questions. I was notified within a few days that I had received a verbal offer from the research team and that I would have a phone interview with the director of research prior to receiving a formal offer. Director of research wanted to try to get a feel over the phone, but in the end, the decision came down to the research team and not the director of research.
