Interview
I had a 20 minute screen call with HR, then a 45 minute zoom with the team I would be working on (2 people), followed by a 6-hour on-campus interview where I met with 4 people in other departments who collaborate with this team. I had to give a presentation (unpaid labor).
Importantly - I did not receive a call back after my final round. After reaching out to the hiring manager, I was told that the hiring team cannot reach out to applicants who did not receive an offer until the selected individual starts.

Interview
The screening process was quick. Had multiple interviews with the hiring manger and another administrator. Over Zoom, the hiring manager kept their head down and not visible on screen, seemingly writing and never looking up. For both interviews, my past experience nor resume was never addressed and questions were asked as if my resume was never read.
