Everyone was very enthusiastic in the interview and went all the way through checking my references and even telling me they looked great before sending an automated rejection email. They then told me the rejection email was a mistake and I was still in the running before sending another automated rejection email two weeks later and confirming that one was real but providing no real feedback even after asking as to why I was rejected (or as to why that first rejection email was a mistake).

Interview
Interviewer stuck to script and seemed uninterested in my responses. Interview was long and uncomfortable. Did not have another interview after the first interview. It was a complete waste of time and also money traveling there.
The first step was a screening phone call with someone from HR. Then, a zoom interview with the hiring manager. After that, there was an in person interview on campus with multiple staff members, the hiring manager again, and some potential colleagues.
