      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      Ames, IA
      No offer
      Neutral experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Iowa State University (Ames, IA) in Nov 2010

      Interview

      It was not long enough: only minutes. I did not have enough time to answer the questions they raised. Too rush.

      I presented my PhD work and there was a brief question and answer session. They knew me already from my work and I had a collaboration with them, I also got a strong recommendation from my PhD supervisor, so I got the offer pretty easily.

      Anonymous employee
      Ames, IA
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Iowa State University (Ames, IA) in Nov 2012

      Interview

      I sent my cover letter about the postdoc position. And after I got email back from my PI, I had a conference call with my PI. My PI asked me my background and my experiences in detail. After then, my PI introduced what this position was supposed to do in the current project. My PI asked me again about my feeling and how I could do this. So I think I answered quiet well.
