Interview
Interviewed with manager and met the COO. Seemed rushed and uninterested. Asked general questions and bragged about all the "extras" that they offer. Didn't seem very focused on making the workplace kind or through.
Short but sweet and to the point. It was very fine and nothing to write home about. Just writing this review so I can get past the Glassdoor wall. You must enter at least 30 words. Make stupid rules, get stupid prizes.

Interview
The interview process at SE guide dogs was long and convoluted. I went through a series of three interviews with the head veterinarian (one by phone, one in person, and one working interview). The veterinarian and his staff seemed great to work with and I enjoyed my time with them. After that process was complete, I then interviewed with an administrator. This person informed me that within one month of starting the head veterinarian was stepping back and I would be the head veterinarian in charge. This was a bit of a shock as it would change the on-call hours I had previously anticipated. I was also finally informed that the salary would be 110K, which was lower than I had been led to believe. I was told that I needed a final interview with the CEO (might as well I had already spent a month interviewing). At the final interview, I spoke to the CEO and the same administrator. I was given the offer for 110K annual with 6 months of on call and soon to be head vet in charge at the campus. I attempted to counter offer for a higher salary given the higher responsibility, but was denied. I was told that this was the salary that was being offered and they would not consider a counter off, but would possibly consider a raise in 6 months (although they would not put that in writing). I declined the offer as I the last interview left a bad taste in my mouth as I did not feel respected at all. Overall, SE guide dogs seemed like a very interesting position and I have nothing but good things to say about the veterinary staff. What I will say is that all salary information is available for non-profits through their tax returns (I reviewed the past ten years’ worth prior to my last interview) and I felt the offer was way below what they had given to vets previously especially for the increased responsibility they were asking.
