Entrevista
It's a full day process, met with PI, gave a presentation, then talk individually with every lab members. Since I came from a totally different background, there was no difficult questions. At the end, I was told that an official offer will be made once the PI got feedback from lab members. Overall very pleasant experience

What's your career plan?
How long do you intend to stay in this position
It was alright. Supervisors were very positive, but some red flags emerged indicative of dysfunctional work culture. Overall, I would say go for it, but be aware of what you are getting into.

The interview process is very informal-- it typically involves presenting your previous work in front of the lab / research group you are planning to join, then go through a series of one-on-one meetings to discuss research interests and prior experiences. The overall process may vary greatly though depending on the particular research group / department you are planning to join.
