Takara Bio USA interview questions

Extensive interview process with multiple people onsite, HOWEVER, they ghost you and never give you an answer, regardless of you reaching out. So you don’t ever find out if you are rejected and also never get feedback on the interview. Majority of the people that will interview you tend to be nice and professional. There are some people that are standoffish and will look at you as if you’re wasting your time. HR is also very stern - if you give them a reasoning behind why you’re asking for the higher end of a salary, they will ask you “why you deserve it?” and when you provide a reasoning, will counter it with their reasoning. They really hone in on communication being their biggest desire, BUT they are terrible at communication. I think it’s unprofessional to expect someone to take hours out of their day to come interview, because let’s be honest, lots of people come interview while having existing jobs, and they just GHOST YOU.

The interview was the first round consultation. The interviewer was respectful but went through what seemed like scripted questions fairly quickly. I felt I asked insightful questions but we still concluded our time after only ~10 minutes.
