Anonymous Interview Candidate in Providence, RI
I applied online. The process took 5 months. I interviewed at Brown University (Providence, RI)
I applied for the position in November, was called to talk to a recruiter just before their three-week Christmas break. I had an hour interview with the person who would be my manager around early February. I was requested to participate in a full day of interviews, meeting everyone in the department in March. I finally received word that I was not being offered the position in April. This was the LONGEST interview process I have ever dealt with, but other than that, everyone seemed nice, and the questions were pretty standard.
