They talked about my skills and my research, then went over the job duties and responsibilities. They checked how my background would fit with what the team needs. I didn't get told what the decision was.

I saw an ad in a trade publication and applied. I was contacted about two weeks later. The first interview was over the phone, and then I was invited in to meet with the division director and some other people. I gave a presentation about my PhD dissertation research. About a month later, I was contacted to talk about salary. The negotiations were pretty quick, just a few days, and I got the offer a week after that.

I had an in-person interview with the hiring manager. Right after, I sent a thank you email and got a response saying they'd be in touch. I've sent three more follow-up emails since then but still have no idea about my application status.
