I interviewed at Buck Institute

Interview

Applied online, got an interview request a few days later. There was no initial screening interview, they asked me for an onsight interview initially. The interviewer forgot that I was showing up and seem disinterested when I arrived. Showed me some scientific instruments and asked me if I could name them.
