Baylor College of Medicine Interview Questions & Reviews

Interview Details – They don't give opportunities to grow in my career

Interview Details – Only one interview. I was given a tour of the facility. I was asked to give three words that describe me. Two weeks later I was hired.

Interview Details – I was initially contacted by the project manager for an informal phone interview where we discussed my previous exposure to linux system administration, familiarity with JBoss/Tomcat environments and technical skills relating to managing VMs using VmWare. Then, I was informed they wanted to me to come meet the team in their department, which consisted of mini-interviews with another system administrator, the head of the department and a group of programmers. Overall, i was impressed with the atmosphere and enjoyed meeting with this group in an academic research environment.

Interview Details – Based on advertisement in different job sites or personal advertisement after a talk by professor one can apply for the position. Employer will contact immediately and ask for recommendation letters. If satisfied employer will contact applicant for telephone interview and/or site interview. If satisfied employer will offer formally then administrative person will be in touch paper work.

Interview Details – I was initially contacted by phone by the Principal Investigator and since I lived out-of-state, he said he would schedule a skype interview for me the following week. He contacted me again, after 3 weeks for scheduling an online interview on Tango and we decided to make the conference 3 days later. He sent me 3 of his research papers and asked me to go through them thoroughly as he would ask me questions from his research works. During the interview, he asked me a host of questions and finally asked for my strategies that could benefit his research on that area. Learning my idea, he was impressed and said me he would like to investigate my strategy and apply that to his research. I was offered the position at the end of the interview and I was asked when I would be willing to start working.

Negotiation Details – I negotiated if the formal offer letter could be sent as soon as possible (I did not negotiate for salary as I was already offered the highest salary available for that position).

Interview Details – The interview was very long. It took about 6 hours, and meetings with different people. Baylor did not pay for the expenses related to the interview, air ticket, hotel, etc.

Reason for Declining – The slary offered was very poor. 20K less than what I currently make, the human resources representative asked for my current pay stub so they will "match" my current salary.

Interview Details – Very courteous atmosphere, my interview consisted with directors of all the major labs and a showcase of what some of the labs did. On my final interview date I was shown the lab I would be working in and met the people in that lab.All in all it was a very professional atmosphere.

Interview Details – There interviewing process sucks, it's very simple and they have no plan nor strategy set up kind of like the work flow of the company. They asked a couple of questions and tell you what's expected of you.

Negotiation Details – NONE

Interview Details – Phone interview was pretty easy, just asked me typical questions, like what are you looking for? tell me a little about yourself, your experience,etc.

The F2F interview was hard! they asked me a lot of questions about GHP guidelines, whats the most important document in my opinion, list any hard experiences ive had and how i solved them, how to prepare for a MV, COV, a PI meeting, etc.

Negotiation Details – I was able to negotiate somewhat. I would say have a number in your head of how much you want to earn and know how much they are paying someone with your experience and then go from there. You dont want to cut yourself short or ask for too much.
