      Research Assistant Interview

      Apr 20, 2017
      Anonymous employee
      Stanford, CA
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Stanford University (Stanford, CA) in Jul 2013

      Interview

      Two phone calls (one main supervisor, one ancillary supervisor to the job) followed by an in person interview with 4 people. There is a background screening process after the in person interview. If they've asked you to do the background screening, you've got the job pending that - if they say they're still finishing interviews a week after you go in and you haven't got a background check application, not looking good.
