Entrevista
Honestly, if the interview process is any indication to how the company works I would run far away.
I got a random phone call about a job I had applied for 6 months ago asking if I was prepared for a phone screen. I couldn't remember the company or the role or anything about it, but we scheduled a phone screen for the following day. The person told me they would send a confirmation email (including job description etc) which they never did.
Then the phone screen lasted about 10 minutes. They asked me about my experience and said it didn't align with the role, they were looking for someone with more hands-on experience. I said nothing about that is on my resume, so why was I considered and they just said "HR just forwarded this resume along".
So at no point in the 6 months did anyone not notice I wasn't a fit for this role? The recruiter didn't even look at my resume after having it forwarded.
This was an absolute joke and I feel like I dodged a serious bullet here.

I only met with a few members of the team very briefly. Spent the majority of the interview with the CEO. They did not allow more than 10 minutes to talk with other scientists and it was supervised the whole time. They were very secretive and did not have a good culture.

Entrevista
Worst job application experience EVER! Applied October 2023. Received an email December 22 from the CEO asking when I am available to chat. Over the next two weeks I sent multiple follow-up emails reinforcing my interest and stating my availability. We finally connect. The first interview, lasting nearly two hours, dealt with the CEO's trust and vulnerability impairment. She asked little about what my skills or accomplishment are. She couldn't even articulate the reason she needs or wants a CoS. She then texts me at 12:03AM nearly two weeks later requesting a phone call to which I acceded. That call lasted 10 minutes, as I requested that we chat at another mutually convenient time. After several attempts to re-schedule, I was "granted" a 15 minute phone call to which she was 40 minutes late, but not before I had to execute an NDA which she never co-signed. My follow-up text was eventually met with her request that I speak with the CEO's sister Lisa — VP Technology Operations and Business Innovations — who's been working at NBS for nearly 20 years (this should have been serious trigger warning). Over the course of an hour, Lisa asked by-the-numbers HR questions (is this what MBAs are taught at Sloan?). I followed up with two email to Lisa (to which she never replied) and a follow-up texts to the CEO, to which she never acknowledged That was nearly two weeks ago. I guess things could have worse; I could have been hired.
N.B. Take a look at the Glassdoor employee reviews before and during March 2023. An interesting pattern emerges: one-star reviews (before March) followed by multiple 5-star reviews (March and early April) each spaced a few days apart. You've been warned.
