Entrevista
Spent the whole day interviewing the team, only for the hiring manager to say I wasn't qualified based on my resume. They were looking for experience in one specific assay, which is something you could learn in an afternoon. Overall, a bizarre interview day. I had great conversations with management level and above, but the general attitude of the researchers I spoke with was strangely hostile and judgmental. Those conversations gave me an an impression that the company culture maybe wasn't healthy.

Entrevista
Interviews were very well organized and hiring manager was very communicative. However after interviewing in-person with the entire team (about 10-12 people for about 4 hours) I was ghosted. The director as they walked me out after interviewing said I would hear back either way in 1-2 weeks. That was three months ago. I almost expect to be ghosted if it was just a zoom interview, but it is disappointing they did not have the courtesy to say that I was not selected when they said I was one of the top candidates during my lengthy in-person interview. Everyone I interviewed with was nice and honest and happy to answer any of the questions I had. Due to both the good and bad, I gave the overall experience a neutral.
