J'ai passé un entretien chez Mathematica (Chicago, IL)
Entretien
Interviews involved a mix of one-on-one short meetings with researchers and senior researchers and a technical interview, which was a deep dive on a journal article or report. Should be able to handle detailed questions on your work in the technical interview.

I had a virtual fly-out (likely due to COVID-19 restrictions; pre-pandemic reviews talk about actually being flown out). I met with ~15 people – employees at various levels of seniority in the division for which your profile is a match – over the course of 6ish hours with a couple of breaks in between.
Interviewers were all incredibly smart, kind, and generous with their attention; never failed to budget time for my own questions; and communicated, through just their ways of being, a culture of respect and high standards.

Question 1
Providing interview specifics won't really help here, since at this level, the interviews tend to be (mutual) investigations into how much of a fit your expertise, skills, and disposition are for their current and future projects.
