I applied through university. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Jules Stein Eye Institute (Los Angeles, CA) in Nov 2017
Interview
Asked about previous work experience, any relevant experience, ability to work on long, possibly tedious tasks for hours at a time. Additionally, asked about skills and how you would respond to certain scenarios. They were pretty much trying to gauge your ability to work on repetitive tasks. The interviewer was really kind and the overall interview was laid back.
