I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Vaxcyte (San Carlos, CA) in Feb 2025
Interview
I decided to drop off my application after talking with the hiring manager.
The HR interview process was great, but the second round of interview was terrible. They keep asking very irrelevant questions and sounds like a very micro-management group/company.

Recently, a member of the HR team approached me, and I had the opportunity to be interviewed by another HR representative. Three weeks later, I spoke with the hiring manager, I would like to express my appreciation for the first HR staff member who reached out to me; he was incredibly responsive, informative, and helpful throughout the process.
