Professional Research Assistant at University of Colorado at Boulder
Accepted Offer – Interviewed in Boulder, CO Sep 2008 – Reviewed Aug 31, 2012
Interview Details – I submitted a resume and cover letter through the LASP website and heard back from the hiring manager within a few hours. I had an interview a few days later which was about 4 hours long with a panel of people asking technical questions. It was all very friendly and not exceptionally challenging. I had a follow up interview a few days later where I talked with team leads from two different programs to see which one I'd be more interested in working on.
Interview Question – Describe how a kinematic mount works. View Answer
Negotiation Details – It was very brief. I had been hired recently by another company and knew what my skills were worth. They made a fair offer and I negotiated slightly more in salary.

Declined Offer – Interviewed in Boulder, CO Mar 2012 – Reviewed Mar 22, 2012
Interview Details – My initial contact was through the online application process. After submitting a significant amount of information and filling out many forms, I was contacted by phone to come in for an interview. The interviewer was polite and friendly and overall my experience was positive. The actual interview itself consisted of a reasonably simple programming test, some detailed questions about my background, and some detailed questions about the technology that would be used for the position. Everything went smoothly and I believe I responded well to everything discussed. I was contacted with an offer a week later. However, due to constraints in the funding of the position, the offer was lower than I was willing to accept and I was forced to decline after an attempt at negotiation failed.
