I had a genuinely positive experience with the individuals I met at Genedata—the team was warm, thoughtful, and clearly passionate about their work. However, the interview process itself was extremely long and disproportionately demanding for a role that paid only $115,000. I applied on January 28, and the process included an HR screen, a hiring manager interview, a technical interview, a senior manager interview, and a final in‑person panel that required a formal presentation to dozens of stakeholders. By the time I withdrew in mid‑March, I still had not reached the final interview. In that same period, I completed full interview pipelines at multiple other companies—pipelines I started after Genedata—and received two offers, had a third decision pending, and ultimately secured a job. The people were wonderful, but the overall timeline, number of steps, and level of preparation required felt misaligned with the compensation and scope of the role, and candidates should be aware of the significant time investment involved.

1. Phone Screen Interview with HR Representative 2. Teams interview with Hiring Manager and their manager 3. In person technical presentation demonstrating a major project worked on to the entire team with time for questions/answers after the presentation, followed by four interviews that are either 1-on-1 or 2-on-1.
