The interview itself was very straightforward and friendly. One video interview with weeks of waiting afterwards. I was offered the position but ultimately turned it down after seeing how poor the benefits and pay was. They spent a lot of time inflating their benefits when in fact they’re subpar by almost any standard. Boulder is an extremely expensive place to live and their pay scales do not match. They advertise the position with a large salary range, yet refuse to negotiate or match current pay above 10% of the bottom of the range. It was a waste of everyone’s time. After turning down the job, my current supervisor was approached at a professional event about it. I found it incredible unprofessional. It feels as if UNAVCO used to be a great place to work. It seems everyone there has an inflated sense of importance and self. Negotiations were difficult and I found the HR staff to be condescending and rude. I would caution against a company that has no problem showing it’s toxicity.

The interview was over Skype, overall a pleasant experience. Most questions were related to how suitable I would be for the job. Also there were plenty of chances for the interviewee to ask questions about the role.

Interview
I received a phone call to set up an interview from HR - positive and friendly at the onset. Asked about a next step after the interview and was told I would hear by the end of the week. References were required with the application and emails were sent to them the week after the interview. Two weeks after the interview I sent an email to HR to follow up on status and never received a response. Almost one month after the interview, I phoned HR to request a status and was told in a snarky tone that the job would was not going to be filled they were waiting for something and management had gone without for so long the work didn't matter. Huh? The job is still posted on their website. Potential Candidates should take the employee reviews seriously - you don't want to work for a company with this level of professionalism.
