The first interview was relatively smooth. The 2 interviewers were very professional, yet made it very casual, I definitely felt at ease. They clearly explained to me what the position was and what was expected in this new position created for a team of research members. During my second interview, I first met with a doctor (the main person that the secretary would work closely with), and then the interview proceeded to a panel of 5 people (the team members). All team members seemed very pleasant. However, it was a little intense and unexpected.

The hiring process drags for too long and I think it depends on which campus you apply for. If it is a small department they try to fill the position much quicker. Sometimes I can tell that the interviewer already knows who they are going to hire.
