I spent a day with some potential colleagues. I gave a one-hour presentation about my research, and there was a Q&A at the end. Later that evening, I had dinner with some of the colleagues, and they showed me around the city.

Mid Easy Negative experience No offer

My interview experience in this field was nonexistent, as the management there actively tried to undermine my work and accomplishments. It was evident they hadn't reviewed my application materials, yet they proceeded to be unprofessional and impolite, even feigning expertise in unrelated fields. These were the most unprofessional and discourteous individuals I've encountered in my career so far.
