I recently went through the interview process at Vir Biotechnology, and unfortunately, my experience was disappointing. The process was rescheduled and ultimately canceled, which gave the impression that candidate time and effort were not fully valued.
While I understand that hiring needs can shift and timelines can be tight, professionalism and respect for candidates should remain a priority. A well-run interview process reflects a company’s culture and values, and in this case, the lack of consideration left a negative impression. Candidates invest significant time preparing for opportunities, and it would be beneficial for Vir to approach hiring with more thoughtfulness and transparency.
I hope they improve their candidate experience in the future.
