The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at IMEC (Belgium) (New York, NY) in Jun 2023
Interview
On tech interview phase, the interviewer missed the interview and I had to wait for an hour. When I let the HR know about the situation, she also could not reach the interviewer. Day after, HR returned me by saying the interviewer was there for 7 minutes and then left, which was nonsense. I was on the teams meeting all the time and no one came. Also she gave me a generic response by saying the department has halted the hiring process.
Incredibly unprofessional for a company like imec.
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at IMEC (Belgium) in Jul 2022
Interview
There interviews:
1. with the leader of the group;
2. with the whole group members;
3. with HR.
The previous two include technical questions related to your thesis work and the job description. While the HR interview mainly focuses on your motivations.

Made a technical presentation to the hiring manager and some other managers.

Professional attitude from hiring managers. You also get a behavioral test, quite basic in my opinion.
