Materials Modification interview questions

Brief phone screening followed by in-person interview with principal scientist and CEO. Questions were reasonable, but the company could not offer a reasonable minimum salary for a PhD level position. The interview became manipulative as the CEO asked questions such as "How are you paying your bills right now?" and tried to tell me that I would not be able to find another job in the area for the salary I was asking.

Be prepared for a basics review of chemistry in the form of a basic quiz. Be prepared for a very fluid conversation about anything and everything during the interview. Be sure to ask for a tour of the lab before leaving.
