I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at SurModics (Eden Prairie, MN) in Feb 2023
Interview
The initial interview process went extremely well. However, after I was provided a verbal offer, I was told that the CEO wanted to meet with me. It was an awkward turn of events. I met with the CEO and that meeting was enough to turn me away from the company. The conversation was chaotic and led me to request to meet again with the hiring manager to be sure I was understanding the culture of the company. Both the hiring manager and recruiter basically said, "That's just [the CEO]."
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
The ONLY question the CEO asked me was, "Why should I hire you?"
