Most people I spoke with were professional but were not asking the right questions to assess whether one can do the job. Recruiters and hiring managers ghost. Company appears to penalize candidates if they perceive them to apply to too many roles. They won’t adjust title based on your experience. Many opens role where the hiring managers are looking for perfection. Job postings are listed for a very long time with repostings on LinkedIN. Regeneron has many employees with one job resume for years and they appear to feel threatened by candidates with more breadth of experience and degrees.
A true indicator of consensus overload culture - 12 interviews with various stakeholders - exhausting and not necessary.. TA does a great job keeping communication lines open throughout the process but it’s clear too many people get to weigh in on a decision that comes down to 1 person . Giving this a positive experience since someone may enjoy meeting with that many people
First video interviews and 1 day on-site interview. Met the hiring manager, the HR, panel and had presentation during on-site interview. Arrived the day before and left during afternoon of the interview day.
Contacted by the recruiter, scheduled a phone call. Then had a phone call with the HM and then silence for more than a month. Checked in twice with the recruiter and only silence. Then 6 weeks later got a response that they went with other candidates within the company.
