I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Rancho BioSciences in Jan 2025
Interview
I am not surprised by the other bad reviews on here after going through the process as well. Overall interview process was disorganized. I had one round of interviews. Then there was a take home curation assignment which was straight-forward. Then a second interview. Then a coding assessment which they don't tell you how you will be graded. Then I was scheduled for a third interview which they cancelled. Two of the senior employees seemed to not understand which position they were interviewing me for and asked irrelevant questions about different positions. Out of the four total people I interviewed with, nobody seemed to have energy or enjoy being at Rancho. The position I interviewed for keeps being reposted on linkedin week after week.
I applied online. The process took 7 weeks. I interviewed at Rancho BioSciences in Oct 2024
Interview
I had an initial screening call, two assignments, and four rounds of interviews. The interviews went well but it was unclear what role I was interviewing for or who I would report to. After the last interview, I received no communication for 3 weeks until finally receiving notice that I was no longer under consideration.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What experience do you have with data curation and data science?
Too lengthy for a small company, you go through 5 interviews and have to wait for more than a month for feedback. There was politics right from the onset where you feel like one interviewer is okay with you but you get one mean interviewer who is negative and even though you give all the correct answers they are still not convinced. They had already convinced themselves otherwise even before the interview.
