Behavioral Presentation
The interview process had three stages. In the final stage, they expected a presentation about my professional background and the NGS market. I was also asked to identify potential major clients in the territory, explain how I'd secure their business, and outline a work plan for the role. They still didn't share the salary range even after the third round, which was disappointing given the effort required for the final stage. They also ghosted me after the third stage, which felt unprofessional.

Behavioral Technical Other
The interviewer called me unexpectedly and immediately started asking interview questions, which felt rushed and disrespectful. I recalled applying to the company, so I decided to continue the interview despite the unprofessional start. We discussed sponsorship and salary, with a base range of 50-65k and potential raises of 2-3%. After some general questions, he asked several technical questions about sequencing and two questions about my resume. Towards the end, his demeanor changed, and he seemed eager to end the call. The unplanned call lasted 45 minutes. I haven't heard back and suspect I'll be ghosted, given past reviews. It's concerning to see such poor conduct from the outset.
