This interview process was a really bad experience. The interviewer was super pushy, leaving tons of voicemails and sending emails asking me to meet with less than a day's notice. If they had taken just a minute to check my resume, they'd see I'm currently working full-time. When we finally met, the interviewer seemed really full of herself and continued to be pushy. Fred Hutch has jobs posted for ages, so I don't get why this interview was so urgent. They aren't hiring for critical roles. I realized pretty fast that the job wasn't for me. I tried to politely back out to save everyone time. The interviewer got annoyed that I wasn't eager to work there. I doubt I'd ever interview with them again. My advice is, if someone has a job, respect their time. I can only imagine how bad it would be to actually work there. Also, they're not upfront about hybrid and remote options. Be real with people. And stop being so pushy. If I acted like the interviewer, constantly calling and emailing someone multiple times in under 48 hours, I'd seem desperate and needy.

The interview process was pretty simple. I applied on 3/27 and was contacted by a recruiter on 4/3 for a phone interview. An in-person interview was scheduled on 4/4 for an interview date of 4/9. The in-person interview was a "loop" interview that was 2 hours long and consisted of two panel interviews. It took about a week for the recruiter to contact me about the hiring manager's decision. So it all happened in about a two-week period.

I applied online and got an email from a recruiting coordinator a couple weeks later. I had a phone interview with a recruiter who said I'd hear back the next week. It took 3 weeks to hear back. I emailed both the recruiting coordinator and the recruiter, but didn't get a response until almost a month after the phone interview. The whole experience gave the company a bad reputation.
