Overall, I'd say the interview experience was neutral with a fair amount of noteworthy pros & cons. Pros - All of the team members I spoke with were very polite, easy to talk to, & helpful in answering questions about the role/company. Additionally, my HR recruiter was very helpful in providing feedback on why I didn't get the role, as well as advice on how to prep for each interview. I'm used to many recruiters going above & beyond with help once you're interviewing, but suddenly going AWOL once they've decided you're not a fit. Thus, it was refreshing to hear constructive feedback following the interview & have them notify me in a timely manner about the result. Cons - Ultimately, the feedback I received was that I didn't have enough health care experience to be chosen for the role. I try to embrace constructive feedback, but I was a bit confused with this reasoning because I felt like the team had been aware of my lack of health care experience all throughout the interview process. Thus, if it had been an issue, I wish it would have been noted BEFORE 2 phone interviews & a 3 and 1/2 hour in-person interview that I studied daily for a week for - as my lack of health care experience was something that was showing clearly for anyone glancing at my resume. In addition, the interview process was roughly a month long. Thus, to devote an entire month & be ultimately turned down for something that could've been noted at the start of the process was a bit frustrating. One important thing to note is that this is a start-up in the middle of a period of large growth & because of that, it's understandable that things are constantly changing. In that sense, I can see why they might have not emphasized the need for health care experience initially & suddenly realized later that it was essential. However, I also think that these types of sudden changes can also seem a bit unfair for the interviewee in case likes these. Thus, I would just be aware that changes like these can occur throughout the interview process. But otherwise, the team seems comprised of great & intelligent people.

Very straightforward - initial call with recruiter, then phone call with hiring manager, and then in-person interview. I had no complaints until the recruiter went completely MIA after my onsite interview. Its now been almost 3 weeks and no follow up from the recruiter. I would expect a series D startup to be more professional that this - not simply ghosting candidates. It's OK to tell candidates that they will not be moving forward...
