The interview process was disorganized and unprofessional. The initial virtual interview felt more like an interrogation than a conversation, with the interviewer coming off as dismissive and unclear about the role—leaving me confused about the actual job duties. Despite my qualifications, including a relevant certification, I felt my experience was minimized. It then took days to coordinate a second, in-person interview (which went much better thanks to the microbiology manager). After that, I was left in the dark. Follow-up emails were mostly ignored, and communication was sparse and delayed. Nearly two weeks later, I finally received a vague update about delays in the process. By then, I had already accepted another offer. Altogether, the experience showed a serious lack of professionalism and respect for candidates' time.
