To simply put, it was a lengthy and torturing process. I received the initial phone screen 3 weeks after sending in my online application. A month later, I was told the team would like to move forward and had two interviews the following week. Two days later, they asked for my references and wanted them to reply within 2 days, only to reject me 2 weeks later saying they went with another candidate.

The interview process at Boston Children's Hospital includes an initial HR screening, a first-round interview with the research team, possible second-round discussions, and final steps like reference checks before an offer.
