      Anonymous employee
      Cambridge, MA
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through university. I interviewed at MIT (Cambridge, MA)

      Interview

      He asked me to describe my previous experiences and asked me to send my previous research papers and posters in an email afterwards. He then gave me a few of his project ideas and asked me how I can contribute. I didn't perform super well, actually, and gave some average ideas, but he did accept me into one of his projects at the lab.

      Interview
