Interview schedule times were very strict, it was a bad time for me, but HR rep said she couldn't move it, so I rearranged my schedule to be there. Manager who was interested in me wasn't available for this set time; so individuals interviewing me wouldn't be working with me. One of them didn't know what position I had applied for, I had to explain it to him in the interview.
Fairly standard interview. Met with two interviewers... in a very small room. Neither of them gave me a card, and both had very difficult names to pronounce, this added a challenge. Reviewers were more excited that I had used Power Point than the fact that I could do data analysis with Excel and Matlab.
Questions on behavior, intentions, experience with various software packages.
How would I rate myself of X software? (almost all Microsoft Office)
What would I do if someone outside my department asked for help on a major project?
When did I receive negative feedback from a supervisor? What would I do differently?
What is a time I succeeded getting a project to work?
Why am I interested in this position? (I answered I wanted to learn things, and I was told there was very little opportunity for that in this job)
I felt the interviewers were very disorganized, and because neither of them would actually be working with me, they couldn't really tell me much about what I would be doing: "delivering deliverables" was the response I received. One of the interviewers would regularly ask questions that weren't on the list, this would throw off the other interviewer, and none of those questions were really beneficial to the process.
I was offered a position the next week, but they wanted me to start 6 months later than what the position I had applied for started at. This would require me to split my final school year in half. I declined the offer.
