J'ai passé un entretien chez MIT Lincoln Laboratory
Entretien
Spoke with someone at career fair, followed up at another career fair where I did an onsite character interview. I was recommended and placed in the 'potential candidates' pool. From there it was about 3 weeks until a hiring manager contacted me. He mainly asked about my experience and explained what the group did. After asking about my most recent project, he invited me to come in for an onsite interview. We scheduled the onsite interview right at the end of the conversation.
Questions d'entretien [1]
Question 1
Can you give me your background in this field and what you want to be doing in it
The entire process had two rounds. The first was a half-hour call with a group leader, where they went over the expectations of the role, along with a check to see if you know your resume. The second was a multi-hour interview with multiple rounds of technical staff members and an hour long presentation for something you worked on.

LONG hiring process.
- (1 month after applying) 1 hour phone interview with group leaders discussing the company and the role.
- (2 weeks later) One-on-one interviews (30 min each) totaling 4-5 hours with group members to discuss projects and trying to find fit followed by a presentation on my previous research.
Ghosted for months on end despite reaching out to the administrator multiple times. Application was declined after months.
ADVICE TO MANAGEMENT: Seriously expedite the hiring process as there are not many people willing to wait months on end (sometime without salary) on a decision only to be ghosted months later.

Initial phone screen to review resume. Know your resume well. Then 5 hour Zoom interview. After that, I was completely ghosted. They expressed how much they were interested in me and said they'd get back soon, 2 months later my application now says denied and haven't heard from anyone since the interview.
