Candidatei-me online. Fui entrevistado pela Predicine (Hayward, CA) em mai. de 2026
Entrevista
I met with the hiring manager for a 30 min video call. Within a week, they scheduled a 2 hr on-site interview with me.
For the on-site, I gave a short presentation on my work experience and skills, then had about 3 rounds of small panel interviews. I was also given a lab tour and had a pipette test.
The people themselves seemed nice, but there was a strange vibe overall. I don’t know if it was an off day, but all of the interviewers were repeatedly asking me the same basic questions about my work experience — things I had already covered in my presentation.
There is a lack of diversity in the company, based on what I saw.
They seem very eager to hire.

Entrevista
I had an initial zoom call with hiring manager that was meant to be 30 mins but went over an hour. This was followed by panel interview on site where I presented a 15 min presentation about my background upon their request. Lab managers/project managers during panel were nice and sounded interesting. No technical skill questions were asked, mostly assessing my experience/background and whether if I am a good fit for the company or not. A lot of information was shared during the interview and realized they are much more smaller than they advertise themselves on their website. I enjoyed the interview until the last part where I met the potential coworkers. I felt that there is no cultural diversity in this company which is a red flag. As someone who is from a colored background, I didn't feel like I would feel supported in the team. Their questions were not to get to know me but imply that my career goals are not realistic which I don't think it is their business and that it would impact the work I would do for them. Overall, this interview reminded me the interviews/interviewers I had back in college as if I am a student to be taught a life lesson rather than a professional with experience who is willing to contribute to the .

Phone interview Panel Interview (Presentation) Followup interview Oddest interview process I've ever experienced. I've always had to drive and follow-up on the recruiters and ultimately had a great time and matched well with the actual team. I've received and agreed to a verbal offer following reference checks only to not receive a formal offer letter. After a few weeks of my own followup, I had to reinterview with the CEO, who later decided that the skillset did not meet the business need. A weird way to end the process weeks/months after it started. Perhaps the prior reviews are accurate and the CEO changes strategic/hiring decisions on the fly. It's a shame too, the rest of the actual department seemed wonderful.
