      Application

      I applied through other source. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at UC San Diego (San Diego, CA) in May 2015

      Interview

      Poor, the people were afraid for their jobs, the pay was low and the interviewer was a complete jerk. I enjoy science, but when a person who sought to recruit me insults me to my face, I tune out.
