Stony Brook University interview questions

I was put in a group of 5-6 people then we do a mini research project about the company. It's monitored, you have around 15 minute to contribute to the final project

The first round with the hiring committee was a great interview! The second round with the department head was downright awful. She was late, unprepared and very likley lied to me. Here is the letter (ame removed) I sent to the hiring committe when I withdrew my candidacy as a direct result of this poor experience: "My last interview, with (person) was a poor experience. Shortly before the interview, I received an email requesting a start time for 3:15 instead of 3pm because she was running late from a meeting. No issue there. But she did not log on until 3:45 so I was left waiting for an additional 30-minutes beyond that, with no additional contact. When the interview started, she took a couple of minutes to give a different reason for the delay, which in itself, was interesting. She assured me the delay would "not affect our time together". The meeting was scheduled for an hour, so I thought we had an hour. At 4:27- after only 42 minutes, she interrupted my 15-minute presentation, with 1 slide and less than 1 minute left, and told me she had to wrap up because she "had another interview at 4:30". I've been involved with hundreds of interviews as a job seeker, consultant and hiring manager, In 20-years, I don't recall ever having a 4:30 interview. On a Friday. And this was right as she was to start a 2-week vacation. Forgive me for being skeptical that there even was another interview. But to be fair, I acknowledge it is a possibility. Either way, the fact that I was left waiting for 45 minutes and got cut off during my presentation so that another candidate wasn't left waiting for a single moment, was a very poor impression. This lack of professional etiquette and communication certainly isn't behavior I associate with strong executive leadership. During the interview, I paused twice so that she could talk to a "family member" who was off screen and "waiting to get to talk" to her. Something like this is usually not an issue whatsoever. When you add it to everything above, it was a very poor impression. To be honest, I don't feel like the interview was taken seriously at all. I feel like my time was wasted. And that's bothersome. I spent a considerable amount of time and effort putting together a thoughtful presentation and editing to ensure it was under the 15-minute threshold. That time and effort was not at all acknowledged and quite frankly, the fact that all this happened during the interview process, to someone who is being interviewed to help drive employee experience and satisfaction, is not only telling, it's completely confounding. I would have welcomed the chance to work with you to achieve the people and development goals of the university. I know you are working hard to do that and to create an environment that attracts top talent. That is why I share this with you. I hope it is helpful in some small way. The higher level interview was contrary to everything I read and learned about those goals. Top talent will walk away when they are treated like this. That's why I am withdrawing my name for consideration. Please feel free to share this feedback with anyone you think would benefit from it. I hope no other candidate has to go through something similar."
