Interview
Received a Zoom interview within 2 weeks of applying. Received no follow-up interview and was told they would get back to me once they figured out a second round schedule. They never let me know position was moving forward nor that I was not selected. Found it rude that they ghosted me.

I applied online. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Vanderbilt University in Aug 2022
Interview
Applied online, got the invitation to interview about a month after submitting my resume. Interview was an automated one way video recording interview. 6 questions, one minute time limit for each answer with unlimited attempts to re-record your answers before submitting. The time limit was a little short for some answers. This was my first ever one-way video interview so it was a little awkward, especially not being able to get live feedback from the hiring manager. I received an automatic rejection ~2 weeks after submitting the interview.
