It was a really good experience, everyone was super nice and professional. The recruiter and HR were great. The onsite interviews had fair questions. Honestly, it was one of the best I've had in biotech. The team, management, and leaders were smart and impressive, but also really humble and down-to-earth.

Presentation Technical Behavioral
I spent half the day presenting my previous work to element, interviewing with a few panels, and then doing a lab competency. They haven't responded in 7 months, so I don't think I got the job. It's good I didn't get it since they ghost candidates.
