Interactive Strategist at Boston Scientific

No Offer – Interviewed in Minneapolis, MN Mar 2011 – Reviewed Oct 26, 2012

Interview Details – Interview process for setting up was typical of a large company, detailed and painstaking application process to submit resume, went through phone interview and then 2 in person interviews. Would have had to fly to Boston for a full day of interviews if the process would have gone any further, but it ended for me after the first in person interview. Seemed to have a very limited understanding of how to fit mobile into their strategy and our opinions didn't mesh - that was where the process ended for me.

Interview Question – Wanted to have examples of mobile possibilities in marketing for physicians (specifically SMS)   Answer Question

R&D Scientist Intern at Boston Scientific

Accepted Offer – Interviewed in Natick, MA May 2008 – Reviewed Oct 9, 2012

Interview Details – A senior scientist called me and asked about what I was doing for my undergraduate research in a molecular biology lab. After telling him the gist of the topic, he then asked specific questions to make sure I knew what I was doing instead of blinding following protocols. I remember he made sure I knew how to quantify fluorescence after background was subtracted, these kinds of things. Made sure I knew how to culture cells.

Interview Question – I wasn't expecting a cell culture question like what do cells look like when I culture them, mostly because I had no experience with that.   Answer Question
