The hiring process started with a recruiter call, then a 1-on-1 technical interview with the Hiring Manager, who was a Principal Scientist. The HM seemed uninterested and didn't ask any technical questions, which felt like a waste of time. After six weeks of no response, I was invited for another interview with four team members. These people were friendly, but the interview felt like a formality, with no genuine interest in my skills or background. The company culture appears very relaxed and unprofessional. The HR representative was professional, which was the only positive aspect.

Behavioral Presentation Technical
It was a typical industry interview. I had phone/virtual meetings with HR and the Hiring Manager. Then there was a full day interview. It started with a 30-minute presentation of my research, followed by about five or six individual 30-minute interviews. Honestly, it felt pretty unprofessional compared to other places I've interviewed. At the end, they mentioned they still needed to interview someone with a 'personal relationship with a Sarepta employee.' They also didn't respond to calls or emails before the interview to give me guidance on what to present. The only notification I got about the position was through Workday, stating my job status was no longer under consideration.

The hiring manager will reach out to set up a 30-minute pre-interview. After that, you'll meet five people from HR and your potential teammate and director. If they like you, the last interview will be a 1-hour presentation and then a 30-minute chat with 8 colleagues. It was a great time talking to all those nice and smart people at Sarepta.
