I learned of the position and submitted the application online at Dana-Farber Careers website. After about three weeks I was contacted via email to set up a phone interview. The phone interview lasted about 20 minutes

It’s been a slow and lengthy process. I hadn’t heard back for weeks, then was contacted for a second round, only to be asked for 5-6 references, which has taken up a lot of time from both me and others. It just doesn’t make sense to ask for references before the final round. They should really be the last part of the process.
