Optical Scientist Interview Experience - United States
Process
I was contacted by a recruiter via LinkedIn. A phone interview was scheduled with the hiring manager.
The interview was extremely one-sided. The interviewer didn't share any information about the position and didn't give me an opportunity to ask any questions. It consisted mostly of graduate school exam-style questions, which felt insulting and like a total waste of time for someone with my senior experience.
Questions
Imaginary problem: How to push a micro-satellite with a ground laser.
