Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research interview questions

It was friendly and the interviewers make you feel relaxed and calm. The interview was divided into two different segments with two different meetings which was a little stressful, but after that everything was fine.

Within two weeks of applying I was invited to a 30 minute on-line interview. At the interview were two senior members and a junior member. While the discussion with the senior colleagues went very smoothly, and we had a good understanding of each other and the job requirements, the junior member kept cutting us off to "remind us" we had to "move on". I also saw a growing level of discontent on this junior's face as the interview went on. At the 30-minute mark, the junior abruptly told us the allotted time for the meeting was up and went off-line without saying anything further (i.e., "Thank you for coming and nice meeting you but sorry I have to go now"). The two seniors and I stayed behind and went on for another 30 minute on the various aspects of the job and their other project in general before properly parting our ways. To be honest I was perplexed by the behavior of the junior person (I could think of a reason why), and the seniors found it acceptable for him to act this way during an interview. I was rejected, but after meeting this junior member (even on-line) I don't think I would want to work in that team. Technically the questions were along the line of "can you do this / that." In this aspect I didn't have any problems.
