Behavioral Technical
I had a horrible candidate experience, spending hours across multiple rounds of interviewing with about 15 people. They then ghosted me. There's a lot of controversy, politics, and internal conflicts of interest that are noticeable. This university and its recruiting process should be more progressive and candidate-friendly, focusing less on titles and power dynamics, especially considering they pay below market salaries.

Behavioral Group
The interview process was pretty straightforward. First, I had a virtual panel interview with HR, the dean, and the manager. Then, I had an in-person panel interview with faculty. I got the feeling they hadn't read my resume after the first interview. After the second interview, I didn't hear anything back, even after sending a thank you note and following up again two weeks later.

I was reached out to via email after submitting my resume and cover letter. The video interview was with my direct supervisor and the head of the department. It was a friendly and straightforward conversation. They were happy to answer any questions I had about the department's culture and management style. I was informed that candidates would be invited for in-person interviews, but I didn't reach that stage.
