Stanford University interview questions

After applying through Stanford career portal, recruiter reached out over email (over the weekend) to set up a 30 minute first round call. After a scheduling mixup, we finally connected and had a pleasant first round call. She'll speak with hiring manager and decide whether to call me back for a second round Zoom video interview.

I received an invitation to 5 back to back interview after filling in an interview survey through email and completing a phone interview. People there were generally nice and friendly though seemed not prepared enough. Several of them seemed like they didn’t know why they were there in the first place. The system gave an update that I wasn’t selected for the position. I wish they could show more respect for the candidate. I had to ask for leave with my current employer and then travel from San Francisco to Palo Alto for the interview. They didn’t offer any flexibility in letting me choose the interview date. At least they could do is to give me a call or at least an email to me, telling me that I wasn’t selected instead of just updating it in the system.
