Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Very bad experience, at least tell the candidate if not offering. Luckily I din get offer. I dowan to work with this kind of employer.
Quite a standard interview process, e.g. tell me about yourself and your research / key publications. expectations and alignment of interests with the PI. hr / admin process is reasonably quick
Quite simple and easy, already knew the employer so discussed mainly job responsibilities and other questions related to my research interests. Discussed in detail about my PhD work and what I had accomplished during grad school
