Behavioral Presentation
The interviews were all done remotely and handled professionally and on time. My main issue with UCI hiring is that they seem to prioritize internal candidates, which is frustrating. I've seen so many applications just sitting there, unopened. It's a waste of time to post jobs externally if internal applicants are always favored. Just so you know, many jobs are posted both internally and externally, and they really value internal candidates.

The interview process went smoothly. Initially, there was a brief 15-20 minute phone screening. A few days after that, I was invited to a Zoom panel interview. About three weeks later, I got an email saying they were moving on with other candidates, so I wouldn't be proceeding to a third round.

I applied online and got a call back pretty fast. Scheduled an interview with the program Director for that same week. Right after that, I met with a coworker in the next office. They also showed me around and introduced me to people, I guess to check how I'd fit in with the team. A few days later, I had a third and final interview with a more senior person, which was super chill and conversational. It was the easiest of the bunch.
