A phone screen with the hiring manager, then a tech interview with a junior engineer whose internet kept failing.
On site interview with no agenda, no list of people I would be meeting or their roles, despite my repeated requests for one. Only met one person actually on the team. Another interviewer seems to have been pulled from his desk to interview me without any planning or warning.
C-level department head did not show up until much later, leaving one of the interviewers and me having to awkwardly kill time until he arrived.
Said C-level department head interviewer had no idea of my field and admitted as much. I figured that was why they wanted me, for this knowledge and experience. Interestingly, he was yawning, staring out the window, and squirming in his seat for most of the conversation.
After they made an offer I had to insist to meet with several other people, preferably who knew what this role was actually about, in different positions, with whom I would be working. This took days.
They never even asked for references and failed to figure out that I had worked with several of their employees in previous jobs. This should have been easy on LinkedIn.
I wish I had never accepted that offer.

Question 1
Typical coding questions. They did not know how to optimize or about constraint-checking, which was odd.
I applied online. I interviewed at iota Biosciences
Interview
Phone interview with recruiter. Then hiring manager. Then onsite interviews with the hiring manager and other company employees. I incurred a lot of travel expenses while coming onsite to interview and they refused to reimburse me for any expenses.
