I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Georgia Tech (Atlanta, GA) in Aug 2013
Interview
Not that Thorough. It was 1:1. Maybe 30 mins long one time. Professors don't make great interviews. At the time they were hurting for employees. They care more about results and your past work history results than your personality, which is expected in a Science which is an introverted field.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What you manufacturing experiences are?
What is your work passions?
What is your GPA? (They care about this a little to much)
I applied online. I interviewed at Georgia Tech (Atlanta, GA)
Interview
The interview ran 30 minutes. It started with behavioral questions, and was overall a nice experience. They were mostly interested in understanding how I would be able to contribute to the project, It is important to ask questions during the process to understand what role they envision for you.
Straightforward interview questions and overall a smooth interview process. I was invited to a lab setting and interviewed with current lab mates and then the professor/ researcher. I was asked different behavioral questions and technical questions regarding the skills they desired.
It was somewhat challenging. Very fast-paced interview. Lots of questions, but they are manageable. We did a virtual consultation, then we did an in-person interview that also counted as a walkthrough.
