      Research Associate Interview

      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      No offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Natera in Jun 2020

      Interview

      There were two interviews: The first was more of a general interview, where they asked your desired pay, and other baseline questions such as to name a time where you had to communicate effectively to resolve a problem in the workplace. The second asked more questions such as your experience with PCR, if you were more of a team-oriented or independent worker, etc.

      Negative experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Natera (Austin, TX) in Jun 2026

      Interview

      Phone screening with recruiter, Zoom meeting with team manager, and then an on-site interview/meeting with 3 other RAI's. I was consistently told good things about all of my interviews, I got along well with everyone I spoke to. When I reached out to follow up, I was told I would have answers the next day. That same day, an hour later, I was sent an automated denial email. I tried reaching out again to inquire about the decision and have never received an answer. The process took about 3 weeks. I was led on tremendously. The position was still open after they denied me - I have no answers as to why they made the decision they made. I would not recommend this company to anyone.
