Candidatei-me online. O processo levou 3 semanas. Fui entrevistado pela GRAIL (San Francisco, CA) em jul. de 2016
Entrevista
Everything moved along very quickly. The R&D team seems friendly except the managers of the teams. Unfortunately, they like to intimidate people by giving you the stare and making you feel like you are doing everything wrong (which maybe I did, who knows). I guess they want to make sure people know the very ins-and-outs of illumina technology before starting?
Candidatei-me por indicação de um funcionário. O processo levou 6 semanas. Fui entrevistado pela GRAIL (Menlo Park, CA) em jul. de 2018
Entrevista
I was approached via email by the recruiter for the position who wanted to have a phone conversation with me. While scheduling the conversation, it switched to the hiring manager who I spoke with directly. We chatted about my previous and current research, as well as a little bit about the role itself. At the end of the conversation, I was invited to come out to present my research and meet the team.
What followed was a several weeks long cat-and-mouse game with the recruiter who initially reached out to me. Over the course of several phone calls, it went from trying to get everybody's schedules aligned, to putting me into a holding pattern of sorts, to not being responsive, and then ultimately to declining my candidacy due to the position being filled. Given that this cat-and-mouse game lasted so long (probably around 6 weeks), I honestly have no idea what was going on, especially since the hiring manager seemed sincere in the invitation to interview in person.
