Beam Therapeutics interview questions

started with screening phone call one day, one day was a second round interview with the VP of IT, another day then went into a ~5 individual panel interview for about 2-hours on the same day (30 mins with one person, another 30 with another, another 30 with another, etc.) Only the first interview for the panel was really an “interview”. basic Q&A, mostly behavioral. The rest of the interviews were the interviewers just telling you about the company and the culture. You’re free to ask them more questions. Last interview for me was 15 minute zoom call with the recruiter just to debrief. Everyone was really kind and welcoming. Disappointed I didn’t get the role, but definitely would be open to future opportunities.

Phone screen with recruiter, then company TA rep, first found with hiring manager, then scheduled for a 6 person panel. The day before the panel, one interviewer had to reschedule. The day of the panel iinterview, during my first interview I received an email for a reschedule of one of the panelists I was meeting with next. Interviewers didn't seem prepped on my CV and didn't give the impression that they interview a lot. Interviews were 30 minutes, but this was not enough time as most Interviewers arrived a couple mins late, or talked a lot and didn't give a lot of room for questions and answers.
