This was probably one of the worst interview experiences I had. Also, this was all in the "COVID-19" era too - so keep that in mind. I applied and they were fairly quick to get back with me via email where they scheduled a 30 minute phone screen. That was a pretty typical and easy. I then moved on to the next round, which was 1 hour zoom interview. That also was fairly typical and easy, mostly behavioral questions but also some questions about diversity and working styles. A lot of the questions were thought provoking, which I appreciated. I then moved on to the next round, which was a 4 hour zoom interview process (Again, COVD times). In between that, they offered to do an in person tour of the campus and the department I'd be working in. I was a little hesitant, because of COVID, but I really wanted the job, so I risked it and did the in person tour. That was about 2 hours. Then came the 4 hour zoom call/interview. That went okay. It was about four 45 minute interviews with different people and one 30 minute interview. You meet with people you'd be working alongside as well as an HR person who went over all their benefits, which can be found on their website. Most of the people didn't seem prepared to interview me, so I had to ask A LOT of questions most of the time, which is fine, if not repetitive. Total time spent with Reed college about about 7-1/2 hours. I did not get the job and they let me know via email which was a HUGE disappointment. A call would have been nice and way more professional considering all the time I took to interview with them. I asked for feedback and they told me they had zero feedback for me but I should be happy I made it to the final round (not sure what I'll do with that accomplishment?). Reed claims they do this long winded interview process out of "tradition". For one, as a candidate, there is nothing more stressful as someone who is currently employed than trying to come up with excuses as to why you'll be out of the office so much (7-1/2 hours, basically a full work day). Secondly, it was really strange to me that they had me meet with the HR person. Again, all their benefit information is online. I'd think anyone applying/interviewing with a company would do research beforehand. This seemed like a giant waste of time for not only the candidate, but also the HR department. In short, Reed has a lovely campus with some lovely people. The interview process is not so lovely and the rejection is all but unprofessional. A huge build up to end in an annoying letdown.
