The interview process was very long and had a lot of miscommunication between HR and other departments. They called me three times over 3 weeks, and I got a rejection after 2 weeks. The total time from the HR phone interview to the rejection mail was one and a half months. They kept calling me for face-to-face interviews for 2-3 rounds, and I was very positive about getting the position, but I was rejected in the end. In every round, they kept telling me I was overqualified for the position, which made me wonder why they wasted my time and theirs. I declined another temp position because of this interview. My advice to HR is to not waste candidates' time if they are not a perfect fit. Your lengthy process creates false hopes.

I went through 4 rounds of in-person interviews with the whole Research Team and the MDs I would be assisting. Everyone was really nice and mostly asked about my previous work and how I'd deal with tough situations. Because I was helping out a whole research team, the interviews took up most of the afternoon. It might be different depending on how many people you're assisting or reporting to.

The hiring process was quite lengthy. I initially submitted my application in October, but the first interview didn't take place until January. Although I wasn't selected for that initial role, I wasn't informed until a second position became available. The second interview was in April, and I eventually started in May. It was a long haul, but ultimately, it was well worth the effort!
