Presentation Behavioral
It was a long process but everyone was super friendly and transparent about what was going on, which helped ease the process. I spoke with 7 people on the team, including leadership. Each interview was about an hour. The process seems to be up to the hiring manager, which is probably why mine was really great and quick until the end. Then, once they want to give an offer, there's a bottleneck that slows things down.

First I interviewed with the clinical manager for about 30-45 minutes. Then, I had a second interview which was with the team for about 30-45 minutes and the associate director for 30 minutes. During the interviews, we talked about the job position and how my current skills would apply. They also gave me some scenarios and situations to consider. Finally, I got to ask any questions I had.

The interview process for the Graphic Designer I position has been very lengthy. I had my first interview in late July, about a week after applying for the hybrid role. After that interview, they said they'd be in touch. I followed up a few weeks later, and they told me they'd let me know as soon as possible. It's been nearly two months with no word. I assume they're still deciding, but I really wish they'd give me an update on their decision or if I should stop waiting.

I applied via the Stanford Careers Website. Two weeks later, I got invited to do a one-way video interview through Spark Hire. After I submitted it, HR let me know that the Hiring Team would reach out if they wanted to speak further. Six weeks passed, and I found out through the website that I was 'No longer under consideration.' I was unimpressed with how impersonal the process was. A basic rejection email would have been nice, but they didn't even do that. Considering the time and effort I put into the Hire Spark video, a canned rejection email would have been the least they could do, but nope.
