First had a phone call where they asked three technical questions: One on DOE, another on the equation relating standard deviation and mean, and another on light spectrum. Then had a half-day interview process split into four different interviews.
First interview: I was given three general topics, had 10 mins to prepare presentation, and then 5 minutes to present. The topic I chose was "Culture of the company." Second interview: Technical interview where they asked about my research and work experience. Third interview: I was given a list of 8 emails and asked to rate the importance of each, who I would talk to to get the tasks done, and how soon I should get each done. Last interview: With a team of 7 other interviewees, we were given a situation in which our plane crashed in the Amazon and we had to come up with a list of supplies and plan of action
Plane crashes in the Amazon. What do you do?
