I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Vireo Health (Johnson City, NY) in Nov 2025
Interview
I was interviewed briefly on the phone, a bit of email correspondence, then given an in-person interview after the manager asked me over email. We spoke, very cryptically and borderline unprofessionally, for a total of about one hour, with a tour of the facility afterwards.
Interview questions [2]
Question 1
When I was given my phone interview, the interviewer asked me why I left my last job (similar field of work). I answered truthfully but professionally in saying that my values did not align with my ex-employers and that I valued integrity and taking pride in what I was doing.
During the in-person interview, the interviewer immediately honed in on this past comment and repeatedly asked about it after I expressed multiple times that I did not want to elaborate so as to not throw my past employer under the bus.
I was told that there is not much that can be done to change the trajectory that the business was experiencing, whether it be positive or negative. I was asked if I was content with assuming the role of being a "cog".
Phone interview, video call, and then they make you do an assignment, I was very iffy on completing it and the sound of the company but decided to see it through to the end. I was rejected a day later with no explanation given. I have a feeling they were using the assignment to get ideas for their firm, I regret completing it and should've just declined to move forward in the process based on their questionable glassdoor reviews and declining company culture.
Met with supervisor and location manager. Interview process was quick and feedback was provided. Process took about two weeks. Constant communication with supervisor throughout the process. Was a very good experience.
