Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Strengths and weaknesses. Also my outside of work interests.
Three one on one interviews. Two were with my future coworkers and one with my future manager. Not too hard. Conversational, hands on type questions. Also a riddle at the end
Tour of facility and a few questions about previous experience in the field. Asked a question which showed logical thinking to understand thought processes. People seem very knowledgeable and the workplace seems like a great environment
