The interview process was very organized with clear communication about what they were looking for and provided professional feedback. They had a pretty efficient timeline for getting back to me on next steps. I didn't end up being the right fit, but I was pleasantly surprised by how smooth the whole thing was.

Had a single face-to-face meeting with the head of the department. It was a really relaxed and welcoming environment. No pressure, just what felt like an open and honest chat about everything. This kind of interview should be more common.

The interview was a nice experience and the interviewer was welcoming. They explained the role well. I got to talk about how my background fits the job. It was a bummer though, I never heard back after the interview, not even a rejection.
