I had a mixed experience interviewing at Ligand Pharmaceuticals. The process started off well with an initial online interview that was organized and professional. The second phase was an in-person interview at their Boston office, which was well-structured and gave me the chance to meet with key members of the team, including the Hiring Manager, the CEO, and the Head of People Operations. I left the interviews feeling positive and excited about the opportunity to contribute to a company that seemed to value innovation and teamwork. However, after putting in the time and effort to prepare for both interviews, I was disappointed to be ghosted afterward. Despite following up politely to inquire about the next steps, I never received a response or closure on the process. Ghosting candidates after multiple rounds of interviews is unprofessional and reflects poorly on the company's hiring practices. While the initial impression of Ligand Pharmaceuticals was strong, the lack of communication left me with a negative overall experience. If you're considering applying here, be prepared for a potentially frustrating follow-up process.
