I interviewed at Picarro
Interview
Traditional interview process. Met with my boss, then my boss' boss, and finally my boss' boss' boss. The interview was more technical, but considering I was a fresh graduate it was nothing too terribly difficult.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Tell me about your research background?
What instruments have you used and maintained?
How comfortable are you with programming?
Phone screen. Hiring manager phone screen. In person interview with 5 including presentation. Half way through the interview was told I was not a good fit and asked to leave. No other feedback.
I applied through other source. The process took 6 months. I interviewed at Picarro in May 2010
Interview
THey interviewed me over and over for 6 months. Their upper management kept changing so they kept calling me in for interviews. Eventually I just gave up on them- a company that takes 6-7 months to decide on an engineer can't be the best place to work for.
