I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Battelle in Feb 2013
Interview
Interview was set up by email and it was a 30 min phone interview. The interview process started with questions regarding your background as well as a short explanation of their work culture. They then proceed to ask you questions about your resume and ask you to detail your past experiences. Then they ask some really simple questions about some technical knowledge about statistics and a little about algorithm and data structures.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
No difficult or unexpected questions as all questions are fundamentals of the CS field.
Two rounds. The first was a 15 minute call with a recruiter asking about my resume. The second I met with two hiring managers. They asked me about my experience and described the positions they were looking to fill. We talked for 30 minutes. I never heard back from them or the recruiter.
I recently had a phone screen interview with Battelle, and it was a very pleasant experience. The conversation was more of a get-to-know-you discussion, focusing on my background and interests rather than technical grilling. The interviewer was friendly and professional, which made the process feel welcoming and low-pressure.
I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Battelle (London, England) in May 2022
Interview
I applied online. Just had the initial call where they asked about my background and what I had been working on. Was a little bit technical, but nothing especially challenging. I asked questions about the product and the job.
Whilst the call went well and I had a good rapport with the interviewer, I was then rejected with a generic "your profile wasn't quite what we were looking for".
I asked for elaboration because clearly my profile was enough to warrant the initial call, but my email was ignored.
