Behavioral Technical Presentation
Started with a call with HR to discuss experience and responsibilities, where a lot of role-specific details were shared. Then, I had a technical discussion with the scientist team about my experience and approach to science. Afterwards, I spoke with the team lead about the company's goals and mission. The final stage involved a 30-minute virtual presentation followed by a Q&A session. There were no one-on-one or other panel interviews. Compensation and benefits seemed below average, with no 401k offered. There were indications of a demanding workload. On the plus side, the team appeared intelligent and the science seemed genuine compared to other biotech startups.

They use Google platform for interviews, which was awkward and not dependable for meetings. They were also misleading during the interview process, promising to share a benefit portfolio but never doing so. The company infrastructure is also nonexistent.

I had an onsite interview in December 2023, but the interviewers were disorganized and tardy. The company seems to lack direction and structure. It would be wise to research the company thoroughly beforehand.
