It was a super chill and laid-back interview process. I only had one screening call, and they were really nice, not asking much. I'm writing this review mainly because they mentioned the salary for this role was about $52k, which honestly feels really low for San Francisco, especially considering everything in 2022 like gas, inflation, housing, and the pandemic. That's totally not on the recruiter though, but the pay definitely left a bad impression.

It started with a quick call with the recruiter, then a chat with the hiring manager. After that, I had a series of Zoom interviews with the technical folks on the team. Everything ran on time, and everyone made sure I had a chance to ask them questions at the end. There was also a culture interview. The team members were really nice and seemed genuine. They asked me to show what I know about controls engineering in a way that was respectful, not demeaning. I got the feeling it's a good place to work.

Behavioral Technical
A recruiter reached out to me about a job, and after a phone call where I expressed interest, I was asked to apply. I then had a phone interview with the hiring manager. After that, I was invited to interview with the crop physiology team. I went on to have five more interviews over Zoom. These were with the hiring manager, two senior researchers, one research associate, and someone from a cross-functional team. The researchers asked me questions about my technical knowledge and experience. The cross-functional person asked about teamwork, DEI, and my character.

- In your own words, what are your thoughts on diversity, equity, and belonging?
