I saw the job listing online and the entire process was conducted over Zoom. They had a fair and detailed process, and communicated clearly throughout. It took longer than I expected because I had to interview with people from different departments.

For my interview, I had to lead a mock class, and I chose to teach a brief lesson on implementing binary search trees. Following that, we discussed various scenarios that might come up during the camp and how I would handle them.

I applied online and got a call within 48 hours. The recruiter explained the role and noted the salary was lower than my current pay due to it being a grant position. Since I was relocating, I agreed to continue. We scheduled a Skype interview for Friday. The recruiter mentioned they wanted to hire quickly. On Friday, Skype failed, so we did a phone interview instead, which went well and I got positive feedback. I was the first candidate interviewed. They said they'd inform me in a week about the next round. After more than a week, I followed up and learned I advanced. I had to schedule an immediate Skype interview with the grant's professor. This interview was rushed, starting 10 minutes late. The professor seemed busy and did most of the talking, which gave me a poor impression. They stated a final decision would be made within the week. Over a week later, I inquired again and was told they chose someone with more 'higher education experience'.
