This was a first round interview, and the people interviewing me were really nice. They mostly asked basic questions like what are your strengths and weaknesses. They also shared what they liked about working at the company.

Behavioral Technical Presentation
So I had my first interview with three senior people. About two weeks later, HR reached out for a writing and map sample, which I sent right away. Then, two weeks after that, I had my final interview with the whole research team, which was over video chat since I was out of town. Everyone seemed friendly and the interviews went well. The main issue was their slow communication and not sticking to the timelines they gave, which was frustrating because they didn't explain the delays. It got worse when they never even told me I wasn't selected or replied to my emails asking for an update. It's really unprofessional to ghost candidates like that, especially after multiple interviews and work samples.

The interview process took about a month and included phone and in-person interviews. I mostly enjoyed the interviews but thought I wouldn't be a good fit. PRB was unprofessional and didn't tell me I wasn't selected after multiple interviews.
