One initial AI video interview then an in person interview. It varies within departments, some just do one teams interview and some will do a third interview that includes PI. Know that Mayo prefers to hire internally and for some reason will still interview people even when they know the internal hire who is going to take the role.

The process was really disorganized. The panel didn’t really know who should be talking and when. When I asked questions, they all didn’t really know who should answer. Makes a lot of awkward pauses and It felt like a very unnatural conversation. Also a lot of the questions were trick ones and worded in an odd way. It felt like instead of wanting to get to know me, they were purposely trying to trick me or make me fail the questions. I also find it a little tasteless that I got a generic auto generated email to let me know I was rejected. I appreciate when companies at least make it a little personal for people who put a lot of time into the interview. But that’s just my personal opinion.

They asked mostly behavior based questions. Apparently I was supposed to have been sent the questions ahead of time but they overlooked that prior to my interview. One of the managers on the panel of interviewers was giving unfriendly looks but everyone else seemed kind. The unfriendly one was supposed to reach back out when they made a decision one way or the other but neglected to do so and when I followed up they had gone with an inside hire. This was disappointing as the interview lasted 1.5 hours and I didn’t even have time to ask questions I had prepared because I was going to be late for work. I felt like I respected their time but they neglected to do the same.
