Applied on a whim when I had nearly finished my PhD. I had no real data analyzing experience but thought my PhD work would cover it. I was offered an interview; a colleague also got an interview. He was in the same position as I.

The interviewers were welcoming and will most likely be the people that you will be working with afterward.

They asked four questions, which seems to be the standard for Seagate interviews:

1. Experience with data analysis
2. Communication in a business
3. Below
4. The technologies used in communication across a multinational company.

I was not offered the position, but my colleague was.

1. While giving a presentation, someone in the audience has a question that they just won't let go.

What if this starts to impact the meeting?
