Behavioral Technical Presentation

The interview process at RevMed is fast-paced and technically rigorous. It starts with an HR screen and a 30-minute Zoom call with the hiring manager. Then, there are two 30-minute "Zoom Coffee Sessions" with team members. Even though they have an informal name, these are structured 1-on-1s to get you ready for the on-site. The on-site involves a 45-minute scientific presentation with a 15-minute Q&A. After that, there are back-to-back interviews with the team and cross-functional partners. The company really likes deep scientific debate and schedules interviews quickly. However, the post-interview experience can be a letdown. I was ghosted after the on-site, and even after following up weeks later, I never got a clear answer or response.

Interview went well, positive experience, hiring team is awesome. HR recruitment is horrible, poorly communicative, rude, not responsive. Got verbal offer and then no communication later, then I sent a FUP email with my expectations. Few days later received email with rude language stating that they are going with other candidates

Behavioral Presentation

It was a pretty involved process, like 10+ interviews with different people I would work with. Some days were on Zoom, then one whole day was onsite. I didn't make it to the CEO/COO interviews. The recruiter called me live to say I didn't get the job but they want to stay in touch. It was a good experience overall.

This was for a contract Sr Mgr TA ops position. I had a phone screen on Oct 17th, which went well. The recruiter said I'd hear back in 24 hours, but I didn't. I followed up after 5 days, then again after another week, with no response. I figured out the answer by then, but last week I emailed the recruiter and coordinator one last time to say I was still interested, still no reply. Today, 11/21/2024, I got a standard rejection email. It's one thing to get rejected without speaking to anyone, but I gave him my time, which is valuable, and he set a timeline. The way you treat candidates reflects how you'll treat employees. With 20 years in TA, this whole experience was embarrassing because I still care about the candidate experience and basic human respect.
