It started with a recruiter chat. Then I spoke with the Hiring Manager. Then I gave a 45-minute presentation, and after that, I had three or four rounds of interviews with the team. The hiring manager was nice. Overall, it was a very fine experience.

The job was advertised as a Senior QC Scientist via a recruiter, Life Science People. However, during the phone screen, it was revealed to be a part-time, one-month contractor role (40 hours/month) as a consultant for platform method validation. The hiring manager interview focused heavily on technical specifics because they lacked internal expertise and seemed to be using the interview to extract information. The entire process felt like an attempt to gather data through a misleading job posting. Ultimately, no offer was made, and the staffing company stated the position was canceled.

Technical Behavioral
I had an interview with the hiring manager, which was alright. However, after going through a tough interview process that lasted over three days with various individuals, nobody followed up with me to provide an update. To me, this is extremely unprofessional. It seems like they only care about their own time and not about the time of others. I would seriously reconsider joining a company like this.
