I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at UCLA Health (Los Angeles, CA)
Interview
Parts of the interview were a bit condescending from some members of the lab team. They were based on past work experience I had that were unrelated to research that they thought were unnecessary or spoke to a lack of skill.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Why do you want to work in our lab? What experience do you have?
Basic interview questions with some extensive questions along with the job title and experience. Got a tour of the facility, really cool to see the environment and people you would be working with.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 5 months. I interviewed at UCLA Health in Jul 2024
Interview
After 4 interviews with the hiring managers (doctors) and the process over 5 months (application to rejection) with team members, 1 assessment, and a follow-up on the evaluation, I received an email from one of the hiring managers saying that they are reassessing the needs of the role within their team. After 2 weeks, the job offer was published again. I understand there was no fit at that time but after 5 months of application process and meetings, I would have expected more details about my application. The positive sign is that everyone I interviewed with was very professionally polite.
