Adaptive Biotechnologies is a very unprofessional organization. While the early stages of the interview process seemed positive, it quickly became obvious that young and inexperienced individuals are running the show. The interview process began with a phone screen, followed by four one-on-one hour-long teleconferences and one in person interview. The red flags began during the teleconferences when I was asked about experimental design and controls. As a former adjunct assistant professor, I am well aware of the importance of asking a good question in order to be able to assess learning and knowledge. Three of the four interviewers asked extremely open ended and vague questions to the effect of: given two groups of treated and untreated animals, how would you decide which controls to include and what types of questions would you need to ask the individuals designing the experiment? With a question as thoughtless as that, it makes me wonder how they expect to find quality employees. The in-person interview experience was even worse. I was only told that I should prepare a presentation that would last about 30 minutes on a topic of my choice followed by discussion that would also last about 30 minutes. I wondered if they were looking for a scientific talk or wanted to hear me speak about my hobbies... I went with the traditional scientific talk and tried to make it engaging and have broad appeal. The experience of giving the talk was less than professional. I was not provided with any introduction at all, and no one in attendance had a copy of my resume, and it was clear that no one in the room had any idea of my past accomplishments, publications or qualifications based on their questions. Moreover, I was not provided with any information on the individuals attending my talk, making it impossible to gauge how to leverage their expertise during conversation (a critical component of a scientific liaison job). My host was routinely condescending towards me, asking me not to answer certain questions, which in hindsight makes me glad that we are not coworkers. The in-person interview was followed-up by feedback from Adaptive, which I appreciate. However, it was only after receiving the feedback that I realized that I was being judged democratically based on my answers to a handful of questions that followed my presentation by those in the room (I had assumed the people I had spent more time talking to would have been making the hiring decision since they had seen my resume and spoke to me). The feedback revealed that they liked the presentation but they had expected me to discuss details of my current job, but no one ever asked me that question. One person had the gall to say in the feedback that I did not know how the technology at my current job works (even though this question was not directly asked of me). Several individuals also had different expectations of what they wanted me to discuss during the question-answer period, but again, I was left in the dark and then not given an offer because of it.
