I applied online. I interviewed at Cytokinetics in Jun 2024
Interview
Interviewed individually with with recruiter, HM, full team and was told to look out for an invite to the final interview round. Didn't hear anything so I followed up with HR; they said "yes, so and so is working on getting you scheduled" and cc'd this person. I followed up with this person and never heard anything. Followed up with HM and they said the same thing, "yes, working on getting you scheduled" and still nothing. Overall, it's been a 4 mo process. This company seems like an absolute mess and I would not work here based on this interview process.
