Behavioral Presentation
I did a quick 15 minute screener call first. After that, I was invited for an in-person interview with four people from the research team. They each took turns asking me questions, told me a bit about the job, and then let me ask them questions too. It was a pretty standard, nice, and quick interview.

Behavioral Other
My post and my account was deleted after I posted my experience. I was told via email that I was rejected after interviewing, but Shirley Ryan was not communicative and did not help me in the selection process even though I repeatedly reached out and expressed I have lived experience. Like many say on here, there is ghosting.

Behavioral Technical
So I had a really bad experience. There were two phone screens, then two video interviews, and then I went on-site for a 3-hour interview. I met different people than before. I thought it went okay. But then they just ghosted me, no reply at all, even after all the time I spent. Seems like this happens a lot here.
