I applied online. I interviewed at Natera (San Carlos, CA) in Oct 2020
Interview
First was a phone screen with the recruiter which lasted about 5 minutes with them only asking me if I was eligible to work in the United States. I then had a Zoom interview where I didn't know who I was going to be speaking with beforehand, and spoke with multiple people who had their videos off and I felt like they were disconnected from the interview with distracting background noises. I had to ask them to repeat their question multiple times. I never heard back from them after that. Overall a terrible interview experience.

Question 1
Have you ever received any negative feedback in your previous positions?
Didn't get interview confirmed by the hiring team until the day it was scheduled for, which is unprofessional and hard to account for. Asked standard questions, interviewer was late as well.
I applied online. I interviewed at Natera (San Carlos, CA) in Feb 2023
Interview
Simple 2-step interview. First interview is a phone interview with recruiter going over resume and seeing if you’re a good fit. If you pass that, you get an interview with supervisor, some or all leads, as well as maybe someone from the bench.

I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Natera (San Francisco, CA) in Mar 2021
Interview
Probably the most Bizarre interviewing process I have ever experienced. Started with the standard typical "get to know you" questions that could be answered via resume and eventually degressed to out of the blue nonsequiturs like "What kind of superpower would you want and why?"
If the interviewing process is indicative of how the company operates and how employees are treated, I would advise potential candidates to stay away
