I was invited to apply to a research consultant position after interviewing with a hiring manager at the company. The hiring manager was very kind and communicative. My interview, while a really interesting conversation, was a bit weird in hindsight. It was virtual, I could barely see the interviewers face and the interview was unstructured. Specifically, the "laid-back" conversation style did not allow for me to discuss my experiences in depth. At times, I felt that the interviewer was speaking more than I was. In the end, I was not offered a position because they could not find a good fit within the company as the job was, in fact, nonexistent. During the interview I asked for a description of the job duties including the team I would be working with. Both questions were dismissed with the interviewer skirting around the answers by saying, "Everyone's experience is different." While I believe that (it can be true at any company), there are actual requirements and expectations of the RC which I found later in a physical, recent job posting from them. It's really a shame because I was excited about the company and I have a great deal of the experience they were looking for in that call. Unfortunately, their hiring practices soured me to them.

Interviewed in 2021. Three rounds. First with recruiter, then hiring manager, than one last round with hiring manager and two people from another office when I had to present a prepared presentation + questions after. It was challenging but fun. Everyone was very communicative and seemed welcoming.
