Research Associate at Case Western Reserve University

Accepted Offer – Interviewed in Cleveland, OH Aug 2010 – Reviewed Jun 24, 2012

Interview Details – Really fast, got called in for an on-campus interview the day after getting a phone interview. From there, I presented some of my work to the team I was interviewing to join and was evaluated by them. Later I had a background check and drug test so that I could start immediately.

Interview Question – How would you implement a role based access control in a clinical application that has a portal exposed to the public?   Answer Question

Negotiation Details – I negotiated to go a bit higher than what they offered, but they barely budged. Case is great, but the money is average to say the least.

Research Assistant at Case Western Reserve University

Accepted Offer – Interviewed in Cleveland, OH Jun 2010 – Reviewed May 24, 2012

Interview Details – Started communication with phone interview. Then scheduled interview with primary manager. Second interview was then scheduled with higher up folks (2). Interviews were short (<1 hour) and consisted mostly of talking about past research, education, and personality questions.

Interview Questions

Negotiation Details – No. They offer you the minimum number you put in for salary when you apply. I would tell people to put in a realistic number for the minimum salary acceptable-- put in the number you want, not the one you're going to be angry about in 6 months.
