I applied online. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Cepheid in July 2021
Interview
Ghosted after three interviews that went pretty well with positive acknowledgments from the interviewer during the interview. The boiler plate paragraph you receive with the interview request states the candidate will be kept up to date all the time during the process. HR seemed very disengaged, robotic and out of touch during the whole process.
The interviews consisted of very standard questions, but the process took several weeks and consisted of SIX different interviews. HR first, then hiring manager, then several members of the team, non-direct leadership, then skip-level up.
