          Business Outlook

          Pros

          Affiliated with university, strong academic foundation

          Cons

          While the organization has made efforts to promote only a handful of minorities into leadership positions, it still feels like lip service when you take a look at the number of grants and opportunities that are shared among investigators. Still like a good ol’ boys country club. it is experienced by how they communicate and share opportunities among faculty and research teams. It is a tough environment to collaborate. recently, a lot of unhappy staff voiced disappointment for how minorities were implicitly excluded from activities or addressed differently compared to other peers. Echo the previous multiple reviews of difficult upward mobility and nepotism. Take a look a who gets promoted faster. Have heard complaints from research coordinators to faculty on lack of career mobility.

                      Hello everyone! I interviewed for a position back in the beginning of October. There were a few flags in the interview but I still followed up a week later and was told the company was taking there time with the interview process. Fast forward to this week, I get an invite for an in person interview that they set for a random date for a 2 hour time block. After two months of ghosting, should I attend the interview?

                      Stellantis

                      I have a decent tech/business background and constantly get recruiters calling me asking if I’m interested in a role…probably at least 1x/month. I take the interviews because I figure it’s good practice but NEVER get selected for the role. Apart from feedback I’ve received regarding specific skills the employer wanted to see more of, I’m at a loss. Has anyone experienced this, what should I do?
