      Malibu, CA
      Accepted offer
      No offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through university. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at HRL Laboratories (Malibu, CA) in Feb 2016

      Interview

      Interviewing process was 6-7 hours. Met much of the staff and supervisors, did a presentation of past work, at lunch with everyone. I had a great time interviewing and meeting all of the people and seeing the workspace.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      One person asked me to tell him what his circuit diagram did!

      Positive experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at HRL Laboratories (Malibu, CA)

      Interview

      Usually they call you within two weeks if they need a position filled. It will be all day and you will meet all members of the team. It's clear who you will be working with and their attitudes. HRL is all about how you work with people.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Besides the usual work questions, HR will ask you what you expect for a salary and what your current salary is. They are known to offer below average salaries. The benefits one should consider is the profit sharing given once a year and retirement/medical. Also it's in Malibu so it's nice.
