First, I had a 30 mins initial call with Human Resources. Second, a 30 min interview with the hiring manager after about a week. A panel interview followed a few days later. Pretty typical process.
HOWEVER,
Interviewers were all over the place:
1. A couple (of interviewers) acted as if the interview was their only chance to ask any questions related to the scientific issues they are encountering! Very bizarre and weird as if they had zero clue of what an interview is about, what they need to be accessing. Go ask your manager instead to help you get a grasp on your projects!
2. Another interviewer gave a vibe that the projects they work on are theirs and in the event that the candidate were to get hired, the candidate better not even imagine of claiming ownership of the project regardless of who is pulling the major workload.
3. A third interviewer expected that the candidate should have devoted a significant amount of time and effort for the interview to the point of providing specific and concrete directions on the unknown and hypothetical to the candidate specific company projects.
Overall, a negative, bizarre non-enjoyable experience. One of those cases when it is better to just withdraw in he middle of the interview than waste one's time!
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What about our platform makes you want to work @ Glympse? What do you know about proteosome targeting? What experiments would you perform to answer the key points we want to address?
