I had an initial interview with a very friendly HR representative, followed by a second interview with the hiring manager. Both conversations were pleasant and professional, and the overall process was straightforward.
Two days after the second interview, I was informed that the company had decided to move forward with other candidates. I appreciated the prompt communication, although no feedback was provided regarding the decision. Some additional feedback or clearer expectations regarding the technical fit would have been helpful, but overall the process was efficient and respectful.

Question 1
The interviews focused mainly on my background, previous experience, and technical skills relevant to the role. The discussions were conversational rather than heavily focused on solving specific technical problems.

We appreciate your feedback regarding the desire for more clarity around technical fit and interview expectations.

Thank you again for your interest in Novanta and for your thoughtful feedback. We wish you the best in your career search.
I completed several interview rounds and enjoyed speaking with the team. Unfortunately, after the final interviews there was no follow-up communication or closure despite reaching out for an update. Given the number of interviews involved and the time invested, a brief update or final communication would have been appreciated.
I applied online. I interviewed at Novanta (Bedford, MA) in Oct 2025
Interview
After virtual interviews with a TA specialist and an EA, I was asked to interview on-site. I spent four hours interviewing three senior executives and an EA. It's been nearly two months with no communication from any of the five interviewers. Complete disrespect and incredibly unprofessional.
