Behavioral Group Presentation
The interview process was a bit disorganized, with different people having different ideas about the role. Many interviewers seemed to agree with my answers, which felt misleading later on. In the final interview, the main hiring manager presented the job differently than the description and other interviewers mentioned different desired qualities. They kept agreeing with what I said, so it was surprising when I didn't get selected and haven't heard back about working at Simmons or any other school. I think this shows bias in the hiring process; I wasn't chosen because of my race, as the team seemed to be mostly white women with very few people of color.

Behavioral Technical Case
The interview process was super fast, only 15 days from applying to the final round. It included a recruiter screening, a hiring manager phone call, and a team Skype interview since I couldn't do in-person. I've worked in higher ed for a bit, and this was the quickest process I've seen.

Behavioral Technical
I had one interview, but my colleagues went through several rounds with management. It was straightforward, and the person interviewing me was very friendly. I received a job offer right away. After the interview, they gave me a tour of the office and I met the rest of the management team.

Behavioral Case
It was a pretty thorough process. I started with a long online application on the school's website. Then, I had a phone interview, followed by an in-person interview. There was also a group interview component. They asked some really good questions that touched on personal experiences, professional situations, and case studies.
