Engineering at Sandia

Accepted Offer – Interviewed in Albuquerque, NM Jan 2011 – Reviewed Jun 25, 2012

Interview Details – I had a two day interview and met with a total of 15 people and gave a presentation based upon my Ph.D. work. The interview was very relaxed, most people asked me what questions I had about Sandia and about the city. I only got a few questions based upon my presentation. Besides that, there were no technical questions. Most of the time during the interviews was spent with me asking the interviewers about their research.

Declined Offer – Interviewed in Livermore, CA Feb 2011 – Reviewed Jun 5, 2011

Interview Details – The interview process at Sandia was very pleasant. I had the opportunity to go on site and meet with some of the different groups that I would potentially work with. As part of the interview process I gave a brief presentation on my previous work (some of my research projects). Everyone was very nice, however the pace seemed a little too slow for my current stage in my career.
