Question 1
Explain how you’ve dealt with a difficult or challenging situation
There were several interviews in one day with various team members. Some technical questions were asked related to the position. There was no follow-up from HR and I was given the incorrect contact person's information to find out if there were any next steps.

Question 1
In previous roles, what was a difficult situation that you faced and how did you overcome it?
I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Biogen (Boston, MA) in Oct 2019
Interview
Applied through an agency for a contract position. Got a quick response, and two days later interviewed for the position. It became clear that there was a disconnect between my experience and what they were looking for. Although I was prepared to speak to one person, I ended up speaking to two. The interview proceeded like an interrogation, and by the end of it I wanted nothing to do with the individuals or the company. Most of the criteria that was supposed to be important turned out not to be.
