I interviewed at Arizona Arthritis & Rheumatology Associates
Interview
Common "phone screen followed by panel" type interviews. I interviewed in 11/2024 for the Mesa location and 4/2025 for the Chandler location. I didn't hear anything past the initial phone screen with the Chief Research Officer for the Mesa location, but for the Chandler one I got to the second-round Teams interview with the CRC who did the phone screen and the Director of Clinical Research for that site. Both times I was ghosted despite doing my part to professionally follow-up.
All interviews were bog-standard in terms of questions, but I did get a bit of a feeling the Director of Clinical Research was skeptical of me, as I have been a CRA ("higher" CRO-side position than CRC). So she was sort of unnecessarily and uncomfortably asking about why I would want to do this position, which I answered professionally and truthfully (i.e. I do enjoy making a community with participants, I don't like the travel of doing CRA work, CRC is a very respectable position, etc.).
I gave the interviewers space for a week before I followed-up, trying to exude patience and respect for their time by sending a combo thank you and follow-up email to see my status, but despite replying all to the four people on the email chain instigated by the recruiting CRC, not one person answered after a week. I followed up with one final email, but heard nothing back.
I won't be applying to another position, as I can't imagine with this level of respect given at two different facilities by a Chief Research Officer, a Director, and everyone else that the company is very enjoyable to work for.

Interview
It was a straight forward interview. We went over resume, questions about myself and why I want to work at AARA. Took a tour of site and was called a few days later that I got the job.
I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Arizona Arthritis & Rheumatology Associates
Interview
Met with several people who were all overworked and underprepared, they all had differing agendas and were constantly working behind each others backs to get the candidate that matched their ideals past the others. This leads to an offer from three different people all with completely different ideas of how to fix the massive problems this company has constantly hiring and firing people as the others "discover it wasn't the right candidate",
