Behavioral Technical Presentation
I applied online and was contacted by the hiring manager a week later for a 1x1. Scheduling was a bit clunky via email. The initial hour-long chat focused on my background and interest in the university and role. Afterwards, I was invited to a panel interview with six people, though only five could make it. These interviews covered my background, job interest, and university interest, and felt pretty standard. Then, I was given a job assessment assignment, which I felt I nailed and even exceeded expectations on. There was a 2-3 week delay because the hiring manager was at a convention. He then scheduled another panel interview with the same five people. They asked the exact same questions, which felt odd, so I rephrased my answers with new insights. After this, I felt negative about the process and withdrew my application, professionally informing the hiring manager. His response was brief and seemed uninterested. I was unimpressed with the hiring manager's lack of follow-through on timelines and other questions, often receiving vague or delayed answers, or none at all. Additionally, during the second panel, half the interviewers were clearly multitasking on their messages, which was unprofessional and disrespectful. I'm glad I passed on this role given the unprofessional behavior.
