The interview experience was great. Everyone was really nice and answered all my questions. I started with HR, then met with the team members I'd be working with.

Behavioral Technical Presentation

The interview process was quite long for an admin role. It started with a 30-minute Zoom screening with HR. Then, I had a 30-minute Zoom meeting with the supervisor and team. This was followed by a lengthy 4-hour in-person interview. I was in a conference room the whole time, meeting with many different groups from the department. They only offered leftover food and drinks from a previous event. The interview questions weren't hard, but the duration felt too long and unnecessary. There was no campus or office tour, and the role didn't need a big technical assessment. I think a shorter, more organized interview would show more professionalism and respect for candidates' time.

Behavioral Group

Had multiple rounds with different committees. It was a full day, and felt long and drawn out for the position. Staff was nice though. They took a long time to decide, but I ultimately declined the role for a better opportunity. Looking forward to other positions there as they have great benefits.
