The Broad Institute Software Developer interview questions

It begins with two screening rounds, then a take home project, followed by a panel interview, and then fit round. Time given for take-home project was 1-2 weeks (adjustable). I felt this process was too lengthy with respect to the salary on offer and declined to continue post the initial screening rounds.

Process: Two phone interviews, a coding test, and then a final-round interview The interview process was actually smooth and pleasant until the end. I was offered a position below the original job position that I applied and interviewed for. When I made a reasonable counteroffer for the original job title and higher salary (which was average market salary), they RESCINDED the offer. This job offer process was handled very unprofessionally by the HR. They gave the offer over the phone and resisted giving a formal written one (they said it'd take a while to write up one, etc). In hindsight, this is why they could easily withdraw the offer. Also, at first, they said they’d offer a relocation package and then in a later phone call, they took their words back. Through this process, I got to see their true colors - that this could be an oppressive work environment. I was penalized for advocating for myself in an utterly normal and accepted way, which says a lot about how they would likely treat me as an employee. I am glad I dodged a bullet.
