United StatesPosted Sep 2020 · Candidate report, summarized by Dataford

I gave a talk about my previous research, then I met individually with several members of the group.

The interviews themselves went really well and the conversations felt positive.

But dealing with UCB’s HR afterward was the nightmare part. They were completely unresponsive at times—sometimes I’d get an email to set up a call and then they wouldn’t follow up to confirm a time, even after several messages. Eventually I contacted the group leader and learned the position had been offered to another candidate. The group leader was respectful and kind about it, but I still felt really put off by how disorganized and inconsiderate the HR follow-through was.
