The interview process was initial phone call with recruiter followed by 1-on-1 with hiring manager. After these initial interviews, there was a panel interview with several 1-on-1 or 2-on-1 interviews. Finally, discussion with relocation people and the hiring manager again. They will then make a decision. Overall, most of the people I met with were very friendly and seemed to enjoy working there. However, a few of the people were either very awkward or seemed like they were annoyed that they had to be there and were a bit standoffish.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
They almost exclusively ask about how you will handle conflicts to the degree that I got the impression that something bad happened recently or that there is a lot of conflict at the company or between the departments. Many of the questions were oddly specific and also assumed a bad conclusion.... Describe a time that you worked on a team where someone was doing something wrong and you told them that they were wrong but they refused to listen to you. How did you handle that? Describe a time where you had to tell your boss repeatedly that they were doing something wrong but they refused to listen to you and were not taking your calls. What did you do? They will also pose hypothetical situations and ask how you would handle those. For example, how would you handle a situation where a scientist discovered something and is excited to publish but they can't publish until the patent is filed?
