The hiring manager made the interview process pretty painless. I got an email two days after applying and set up an initial phone/Teams screening. Then I scheduled an in-person interview for the next week. The Teams screening was just with the hiring manager. The panel interview was with other supervisors and managers that work directly with the position. Everyone was kind and easy to talk to, including HR when I got the job offer at the end of that week. The whole process from applying to job offer took about three weeks.

It would have been great to work for the garden but the interview process didn't go as planned. I was surprised the first round interview was a screening interview and that it was conducted by someone really junior. This made me realize the position wasn't as senior as I initially thought.

After submitting my cover letter and recommendation letters, I received an interview invitation within two weeks. The interview itself, which lasted an hour, involved three research faculty members who took turns asking questions. I heard back about the results two weeks later.

Behavioral Presentation
It was a pretty standard interview process for a mid-management role. They did a panel video interview first, then an in-person interview. The hiring manager was around after the interviews to answer questions. They were really open about the job, what's tough about it, the team, and the company. I just wish they were more upfront about the salary.
