Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute Interview Questions

Apply via an email sent from CS Department, complete a form and send CV, and wait for notifications. Basically, there is no formal interview. But if they wanna know more about some specific experience, they will contact with email.

I just asked for an unpaid internship with the darrin freshwater institute and was able to get the job. I did not have to go through any type of formal interview process.

I applied online. Approximately 2 weeks later, I received a generic rejection email stating that I was not among the applicants being considered for the position. I was never contacted for an interview.

There was no formal interview. Just a chat with the Associate Dean. You will get an offer sometime late May and mid June, regardless of how early you contact. If you are graduating from RPI with a PhD and unsure of your job search process, this is a good position to hangout for a while.

Very thorough. In depth knowlege required. Prepare well for the interview. Do not leave anything to chance. Very good interviewers. Very nice atmosphere. Intervewer was very nice. Do not take any pressure.

The interview process was very long (3 months) the longest time was when resume was reviewed (1.5 months) then a phone interview followed by a face to face interview. I applied twice with 3 years in between and the process has not improved and the recruiters I worked with the first year all left by the third year. When they do let you know you have been declined, they just leave you a message with no return call, just a rejection notice via email and on your profile when you log in. I found the process very demoralizing. They lead you on about what a great candidate you are and then keep rejecting you. I have two Master’s degree/years of experience and was rejected on two entry level positions that required GED’s. I was offered positions at other universities with higher pay and positions that fit my skill sets.

4+ months with very little communication. Phone interview followed up with in person interview with various members of the department including Director, staff and subordinates. I was told I was overqualified for the position, but still interviewed. Took 5 weeks to hear about being a finalist and then background check and references. Followed up 4 weeks later with no returned email or call, heard back 2 1/2 weeks later with a VM requesting a call back. They never returned the call, only to find out my result online and a email notifying I was not offered the position. I was not able to attain any feeback since no phone call was returned.

My first contact was via email, which was a first for me. I cleared my schedule and made time to go. After the first interview on site, I was called to come in the next day to meet with a dean. It was a hectic time, but I went. On both occasions, the interview went longer than scheduled. I was told I'd hear soon...and I was never contacted again.

Got a very brief personality screening. Answered basic questions about myself and my aspirations. Most questions pertained to social skills and working as a team. Interview was very casual and laid back.

Long Process. Phone Interview with HR representative. Phone interview with Manager of the department I would work for. In person interview with potential coworkers. In person interview with Managers of the department. In person interview with the Director. In person interview with the Vice President. I also needed to provide 10 references in a short time frame.
