Digital Diagnostics Interview Questions
& Process

I had a 30 minute phone screening, followed by a 1 hour video interview, and then a 1 hour panel interview. All 3 interviews were pretty straightforward. It seems like the role is a bit up in the air and people weren't really on the same page about it, as it's a new role still being figured out. I never heard back after the panel interview, and my HR questions also went unanswered.

The HR representative was really knowledgeable about the company and its mission. She also did a great job of keeping me updated on the timeline, which is appreciated because a lot of companies don't give feedback and just disappear, then get surprised when you're no longer available.

Applied online. Got contacted a week later for a phone interview. Before the phone interview, had to take a programming test online that took about 2 hours. The phone interview covered my experience and some behavioral questions. After the phone interview, they said I'd hear back within a week. Waited a week and got scheduled for an in-person interview 2 weeks after the phone interview. The in-person interview was about behavioral questions and reviewing my programming test. After that, I was told to wait another week. Then I was scheduled for a second in-person interview, this time with the President, focusing on behavioral questions. After the second in-person interview, I had to wait again to hear back. A week later, they sent an email saying no offer. The whole thing took over 6 weeks. It was a long interview process with many interview types, longest I've had, even longer than big companies. It was a waste of time.

I sent my resume and cover letter in late September 2017 and got a phone interview request the next day. A few days later, I spoke with the VP of Quality and Legal Affairs. It felt more like a casual chat than a formal interview, which made me more enthusiastic about the company. I sent a thank you email with a few follow-up questions a couple days later and received a response within a few days. After a couple of weeks, I proactively sent a writing sample and inquired about the hiring timeline, reaffirming my interest. Six days later, I was informed that leadership wanted to interview more candidates and planned to hire after the new year due to critical FDA product approval tasks. Understanding their busy schedule, I accepted this. By then, I had a temporary contract position and was content to wait. In January, I emailed to check on the timeline but received no response. Two weeks later, I called the interviewer's office and spoke with his secretary, who suggested email as the best contact method. I mentioned my previous email and the lack of response, asking for a convenient reply. After another two weeks of silence, I decided to initiate a 'walk away' tactic, similar to car sales negotiations, to gauge their interest. I emailed my interviewer stating I was withdrawing my application. Within an hour, I received an apology for the delay, explaining they were interviewing others and that he intended to email me with more concrete information. He wished me luck. My tactic failed to secure an offer, but I withdrew with dignity rather than await a rejection. Even if it had worked, the month of non-responses had soured me on the company. A simple acknowledgement of my follow-up would have sufficed. Their lack of communication suggests disorganization or a lack of respect for applicants' time. I questioned how they'd handle similar communication lapses internally and concluded that potential hires shouldn't tolerate what wouldn't be accepted from employees. I won't reapply.
