Behavioral Presentation

The interview involved a panel of people from HR, academics, and the transformation committee. Each person asked me one question. I also got a brief chance to ask them questions. I'd emailed HR beforehand to ask about the salary range but didn't hear back. After the interview, I asked for feedback but HR never replied.
