      R&D Engineering Intern Interview

      10 Apr 2012
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Irvine, CA
      No offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Alcon (Irvine, CA) in Mar 2012

      Interview

      Received an email from Alcon asking me to schedule an interview time with them through my college's jobsite. It was an on-campus interview. I spoke to 2 people separately. I first spoke with an engineer who asked me mostly about points on my resume. He asked what I was most and least confident and comfortable with. Next I spoke to someone from HR, who asked me personality questions: weaknesses, what I am proud of, why I want to work at Alcon, etc. I thought things went well, but there were plenty of candidates and I did not get an internship with them.

      Application

      I interviewed at Alcon

      Interview

      The process got started pretty late in the school year, but went by pretty quickly once it got going. Had minimal time between accepting and starting work to get ready as a result.
