I applied through college or university. I interviewed at UC San Diego
Interview
University interview followed by manager interview. Interview was fairly easy as it contained mainly management questions. Got an email from upper management stating that I have been accepted and I have 2 days to accept or reject the offer
The interview was quite professional. They asked questions related to my major. I learned about my future work plans and my understanding of my current job. The conversation was not very long.
interview was simple and straight forward and I heard back relatively soon after the interview. Mostly asked about previous work experiences and other relevant skills. Overall interview questions were not too difficult
I applied in-person. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at UC San Diego (San Diego, CA) in Jan 2016
Interview
Laid back, on couches, and the basic idea was to determine interest in the research the lab was conducting. Eventually, the interview became technical to understand how much foundational knowledge you have.
