The interview process consisted of two rounds. The first round was an introductory conversation. In the second round, the focus shifted more toward my personal background, and the role itself was explained in detail, including responsibilities and workflows. Ultimately, I received a rejection. While that in itself is not an issue, the overall process was quite time-consuming. From application to final decision, it took approximately 2–3 months. Communication throughout the process could have been more proactive. I often had to follow up to receive updates, as it was mentioned that there was no urgency to fill the position. The final feedback was initially expected about one week after the last interview, but it took around 2.5 weeks and only came after I reached out again. Overall, the process lacked efficiency and timely communication.

First interview with recruiter was very easy and straight forward. Second interview with panel of Agilent reps was weird. There were 6 people on the Teams call but only 1 of them had their camera on. People kept coming in and out of the call and they all seemed kind of unprepared to talk to me. They asked a bunch of questions that didn't seem relevant to the job description which was weird.
