I applied online. I interviewed at Touro University (New York, NY) in May 2024
Interview
Five rounds of interviews for a job paying - at the high end - 57K and then completely GHOSTED after being told how "everyone loved me" and we "want you on the team..." I received a subsequent phone call where the recruiter indicated a "verbal offer" would be very soon. Then, crickets.
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Touro University
Interview
Actual interview went well. Panel of 5 people, one on zoom. They noted I answered questions very well. However, they informed me that they would get back to me regarding a follow-up interview or offer within two weeks, but did not follow that schedule. I reached out and was in communication with someone who said they would make a decision within the next week. From there, they did not respond to my emails when that time had passed and ghosted me for a month until I emailed 4 weeks later and got a response saying they went with another candidate.
This is my second time within the last four years with ghosting from this company.

Interview
I interviewed at their New York branch. There will be 2 interviews. First was a screening call with someone who does not entirely know what the job entails, just will read out the job description but she was lovely so that's fine. A week later, you'll get an zoom interview with the hiring manager. The hiring manager sucked as an interviewer for me. The man could not smile or relax on any of the questions he was asking me. The job was entry level with prior experience "highly preferred" but he was asking me questions that would've needed multiple years of experience. The man wanted HPLC and mammalian cell culturing experience and almost looked down on me for not being able to do those. Again, this is an entry level position with a man that looked like he did not wanna be there. It's clear he likes science and enjoys lab work but his social skills sucked (at least in my experience). They ghosted me after.
