Behavioral Group Presentation
Baylor’s interview process is pretty thorough and conversational. It usually has a mix of multiple mini-interviews (MMIs) or regular interviews. They look at your values, how you communicate, ethical stuff, and if you’re a good fit for Baylor’s mission. You might do one-on-one chats and MMIs. Being professional, showing empathy, solving problems, and fitting in culturally are important. Just be yourself and be prepared.

Behavioral Presentation
This was a typical postdoc interview. I met with the lab group and toured the facilities. I interviewed with 5-6 people and had to give an hour-long presentation on my graduate dissertation. I was pretty upset by some parts of this interview due to unethical behavior. I didn't quite finish my PhD because of serious health issues, which are now managed, but the PI reached out and invited me for an onsite review. They kept asking me why I didn't finish my dissertation, even after I explained it was due to a medical condition. I found this very intrusive and unprofessional. One of the PhDs interviewing me was incredibly condescending when asking about it, outright calling my not finishing my PhD due to health issues a red flag. I thought Baylor was a great school before this, but I was very disappointed.

Behavioral
The first day was a long series of back-to-back interviews with different people, which was quite tiring. Day two involved one-on-one meetings with the CEO and CFO. This was even more exhausting than the first day, but ultimately rewarding as I got the job. This interview process was in 2012, and I've since been promoted, so my job title has changed significantly.
