Postdoctoral Fellow at Georgia Tech
Accepted Offer – Interviewed in Atlanta, GA Nov 2012 – Reviewed Feb 13, 2013
Interview Details – I was first interviewed by several senior graduate students of the lab over a conference call. Questions involved were primarily very general in nature, like describe your PhD work, why did you choose this lab, what was your most significant contribution, etc. Once that round was done, I was invited onsite for a face to face interview. This involved a presentation, a detailed question answer session (technical and HR type), a lab tour, and concluding session. Overall, very satisfied with the interview process. Was offered the position after 3 weeks.
Interview Question – Our job involves very applied research with strict deadlines and project deliverables. Have you ever been in such a situation, where you have had to manage a team, collect results, and present it to a sponsor? Answer Question
Negotiation Details – No negotiation. Offer was generous.

Graphic Designer at Georgia Tech
Accepted Offer – Interviewed in Atlanta, GA Sep 2012 – Reviewed Dec 28, 2012
Interview Details – First you have to submit your resume. If they like you based on that resume, then you will be chosen for the interview round. This interview round is one on one which is not too bad at all. They would ask you basic interview questions that mostly involve with make-up situations and your work ethics. For example, what would you do if you have to work under pressure and you can't meet the due date? Then they like you, you will have to come in for group interview. The questions in group interview are quite similar to individual interview, same concept.
Interview Question – I would say they kind of caught me off guard when they asked me have you ever dealt with diversity? Answer Question
Negotiation Details – They sent me a negotiation letter and i have to sign it. It was a very simple and straight forward process.

Graduate Research Assistant at Georgia Tech
Accepted Offer – Interviewed in Atlanta, GA Jan 2009 – Reviewed Jul 14, 2012
Interview Details – Had to communicate with individual professors separately, and see if I am a good fit for their research lab, and vice versa. Usually through emails. In many cases, there is no reply or a short reply, and the professors have very busy schedules.
Interview Question – In my case, getting into the lab wasn't difficult. Mostly it's performing after I got in, and whether the professor thinks he should fund me or not based on my performance after a semester or two. It seems almost contractual every semester. I do not know for sure whether I will be kept as GRA, or whether I will be paid a different amount, each semester. View Answer
Negotiation Details – Know more about the professor you will be working with. Having the terms of the GRA upfront, and clear seems to make things clear for everyone. However, not having a clear beginning, and not knowing what is expected of you, makes things more difficult as you go through the phd program.
