I applied online for a Clinical Scientist role but was contacted for a Biomedical Analyst position instead, which I felt overqualified for. Still, I proceeded. The process included a phone screening, written assessment, second-round interview with presentation, and a brief meeting with the CEO. Communication was inconsistent, with long delays and last-minute rescheduling. Interviewers were often late, making it seem like the team was overworked and didn’t value candidates’ time. The CEO was unaware of the role I applied for, asked what I knew about it, and then described expectations that didn’t align with previous discussions. After the final interview, I was completely ghosted—no rejection, offer, or follow-up.
