      Postdoctoral Fellow Interview

      15 Oct 2019
      Anonymous employee
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at SRI International in Mar 2019

      Interview

      Phone interview followed by on-site interview. Gave a 45 technical presentation during the on-site interview. The rest of the day was a series of 1-1 20 minute conversations with technical staff. I saw technical conversations because that what it felt like, I know I was being interviewed but it felt like a series of brainstorming sessions with senior scientists. Overall it was a very enjoyable experience. I would have said I enjoyed it regardless if I got the job or not.

      Postdoctoral Fellow Interview

      6 Feb 2018
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Menlo Park, CA
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at SRI International (Menlo Park, CA) in Nov 2016

      Interview

      Applied online, and didn't hear back for 3+ weeks. Cold-emailed some scientists working there inquiring as to the status of my application, and lo and behold, I get a call from the recruiter the following day. This was a standard HR phone screening call, and about a week later, talked to two other scientists (including potential supervisor) on the phone. They invited me to visit the campus and give a research presentation 3 weeks after that. After the presentation and meeting with everyone, I was told that I would hear back on hiring status within a week. Several weeks go by, and...nothing. Reached out to the supervisor and reiterated interest in the position. A month later, I hear back from the recruiter with a rejection. A month later, I actually manage to land a position somewhere else and 2-3 weeks into the new job, get an e-mail from the supervisor at SRI asking if I was still available. I was so angry that I couldn't respond for several days...they had their chance if they wanted me!!!

      We appreciate that you took the time to share your interview experience at SRI. What you describe is not typical, but it does sometimes happen that workload/opportunities change after someone has been declined and we then go back to a candidate. We wish you all the best in your career.

      Postdoctoral Fellow Interview

      8 Apr 2013

      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at SRI International (Menlo Park, CA)

      Interview

      The interview process was pretty typical for a post-doc position. I had a phone interview with the hiring manager followed by an onsite interview. The onsite interview consisted of meeting with an HR representative the asked pretty typical "behaviorial" type questions, meetings with various group members, and a presentation given by me about my graduate work. The interview process was pretty standard. I also received a tour of the facilities and campus.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      All questions were pretty standard- most people just wanted to know about my previous research.
