The interview process was a bit unusual but overall acceptable. Not much preparation was needed. It was an average interview experience. The job itself has an average level of stress. I'm still employed here and plan to stay until retirement. The key is to be honest, and the job is yours.

Several rounds happened back to back. Had to wait for a long time, and then finally got declined. Or, not getting any email regarding the next round. A lot of time was wasted. Better to avoid. Resumes are separated based on institutions.

Got a call from a recruiter, and took half a day off for the interview. While heading there, the recruiter called again saying the interviewer wasn't available. It got rescheduled. The interview itself went pretty well until they asked about salary expectations, which they already had from my application. The interviewer mentioned she couldn't meet them because recruiting was outsourced and there were a lot of issues affecting her ability to hire someone.
