Submitted my resume and then got a call for an in-person interview at the site. They called afterwards to give me the job offer. It was a really straightforward process and they gave me a lot of good info. Everyone was nice and seemed truly interested in my experience and why I wanted to work there.

Behavioral Presentation
They are unprofessional and don't value your time. I interviewed for a position and even shadowed. Then they completely ghosted me. I was kind, respectful and bonded great with the staff. I know you have many applicants but at least send me an email or a call to let me know I didn't get the job. I reached out multiple times via call and email and no response back. I just gave up.

I started the interview process for the Program Coordinator, Academic Affairs position in August 2025. I was initially told there would be a single phone screen followed by two Zoom interviews with managers. However, the process ended up being four interviews spread out over almost two months. The communication was not consistent throughout, and in the end, I was rejected without any feedback. As someone who was already working there, I was really disappointed with how current employees are treated. The whole experience felt disorganized, discouraging, and a total waste of my time.

The whole process from applying to getting the offer took about 10 weeks. It started with an HR screening, then an interview with the Hiring Manager, and finally a second interview with the team. Both interviews were virtual and done over Microsoft Teams. Since I had worked at the company before, the interview questions focused on my past projects and the systems I knew.
