SciMetrika Associate Interview

Posted Mar 10, 2012

Declined Offer – Interviewed in Mar 2011 – Reviewed Mar 10, 2012

Interview Details – The hiring manager contacted me first. After speaking, we had a slightly more formal phone interview. From there, a 1:1 interview was scheduled over the phone. That went fairly well and seemed laid back and unscripted. They contacted me the following evening for a group panel interview for the following day. I was kind of put off at being reached via e-mail at 9pm to do an interview the next day. To add to it, they told me (and reconfirmed) that I would be having a behavioral interview and it ended up being entirely technical.

Interview Question – Describe a time that you failed at something.   Answer Question

Reason for Declining – Why is the HR manager e-mailing me at 9pm for a follow-up interview the following day? It indicated to me that people must be expected to live and breathe their job 24/7 which wasn't the type of environment I was looking for.

Other Details - I applied online and the process took 1 week.
