The process to get there seemed confused. It was lengthy. There were several rounds (3). The final interview was with a panel and seemed very scripted and unnatural. They seemed uncomfortable, which made it uncomfortable for me. Never heard back. Tried to contact people, but no-one responded.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at RTI International
Interview
PhD interview process with “job talk” presentation over lunch. The process seemed overly long considering I wasn’t applying for a tenure track position at a university. People were all nice, except one senior researcher who overshared quite a bit.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
I honestly can’t remember a single specific question that anyone asked me. It was more like an academic interview where people are trying to get to know you as a person and want to see if you’ll “fit in” to their department. You assume they already know your work and you’ve already defended it during your “job talk” presentation.
