Interview
HR Recruiter will call you for an informal interview if you fit the qualification and set you up with the department interviewers, usually 2 or 3. It takes about 3-4 weeks to finally get brought in. The interviewers may look intimidating but they area very casual.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Very basic questions regarding your personal experience.
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at SRI International
Interview
Contacted by recruiter for the position that the company had advertised but was low-balled with another low-paying temporary position while being interviewed. Company seems quite disorganized in its scheduling of interviews and does not seem to do its research at what potential candidates are applying for. Sheer waste of time.
I applied through university. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at SRI International (Menlo Park, CA) in Jan 2014
Interview
Mixture of lab demo's / questions and office interviews. Also had to give a presentation on graduate work. Had to draw and explain things on whiteboard. They provided lunch and a tour of all the laboratories. They asked what I'd like to work on and my ideas based on what I had seen.
