Candidate-reported interview process

It was a really fast and responsive process, and the interviews were great. First, I had an HR screen, then a Zoom call with the hiring manager, and finally an onsite visit with multiple meetings and a research talk.

The whole process was super fast! It started with a quick phone screening, then a video call with the hiring manager. I got good vibes from that, so they invited me for an on-site interview in Madison.

The recruitment process was pretty standard for on-campus hiring. It began with a phone interview, followed by an on-site interview. This all took place in Madison, WI, in October 2019. Arrowhead is a company that's growing fast, offering lots of potential. I really enjoyed talking with the Arrowhead staff; they seemed super positive, skilled, and genuinely nice people. I could totally see myself growing a lot as a chemist there. The overall vibe of the workplace felt very energetic and positive.
