Very odd interview. Delayed by 30 minutes (at the last minute), interviewed directly by the CEO. No introduction, not particularly personable, and it was difficult to gauge what exactly it was he was looking for in a candidate. Seemed offended that I asked questions about what he expects in terms of work hours, etc. from his employees. He also was prying about my current employer.

The interview for the research scientist position consisted of a screening phone call, a virtual interview and then a seminar presentation. Each step of the way, there was a severe lack of communication and months would go by. The company was very, very slow to answer emails- if at all. So much time went by that when asked if the company was still interested, the company said yes, but that so much time had passed that another seminar would have to be conducted. That ultimately did not happen because the company would not respond to coordinate another interview. An automated message was eventually sent weeks to months later that stated the candidacy for the role was no longer being evaluated. This company lacks transparency and professionalism.
