Fairly typical process for the industry and position level. Met with all the key cross-functional managers. One odd confrontational interview with a threatened lower level person with poor understanding of the position I was interviewing for. The hiring director was the most challenging. She wanted examples of everything.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
How have you handled working with difficult people?
Thorough, but not fully organized process. Some focused on certifications, accomplishments and who you worked for vs.years of experience. Overall good experience and interaction with multiple people and phases of interview process. Response time with status updates was average.
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at CTI BioPharma (Seattle, WA) in Jun 2015
Interview
Two phone screens as well as one in person interview with 4 different staff members over a 3 hour period. Company seemed disorganized as they missed the first phone screen and also failed to follow up after the on site 3 hour interview.
