I applied online. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at SQZ Biotech (Watertown, MA) in May 2019
Interview
Multi stage interview through multiple calls, ended with onsite with whole team and meeting wider team members. Overall a positive experience, and thorough. Appreciated the opportunity to get to meet people at, below, and above my proposed level.
Average. The group appeared inconsistent in what they were looking for in candidates. Feedback was very positive, and expected an offer based on their feedback. HR didn't res[pond for a month. It was handled unprofessionally. Disappointing experience regardless of of an offer. Immature.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Average. Nothing particularly interesting. One of the group members asked if I was afraid to speak with investigators. Naive questions for professionals with 15+years in the industry.
Pretty standard interview process which includes phone calls with HR and hiring manager prior to on-site seminar and interviews. The on-site interview day is pretty long, but a break and lunch was provided which was nice.
