Cray Interview Questions & Reviews

Interviewed Jan 2011 (took 2 weeks)

I got my resume to someone within Cray, and soon received a call inviting me for an on-site interview. I initially did 8 individual interviews with three different groups. Each lasted about 30 minutes, with each interviewer very different. There weren't all that many technical questions, there was more of a focus on looking over my resume and determining my interests. I was then invited back for another round of interviews with two of the three original groups. This consisted of 6 individual interviews, each 45 minutes long. These interviews were much the same as the earlier individual interviews, with few technical questions and more personality questions. I was informed that they would be adding on an additional interview at the end of the day, which was to be with a more senior manager. He told me that they would make their decision that day, that they wanted to make me an offer, and that they would inform me within 24 hours about where they wanted to put me. It ultimately took them about 10 days to get back to me, and they did not make me an offer.
