I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Harvard University in Feb 2014
Interview
I had two interviews, one with HR and one with the group. The HR interview was very basic, asking if I had questions about the benefits of working at Harvard, briefly talked about my resume. The actual job interview was with a panel of 3 people.

Question 1
A lot of questions about my career path and justifying my previous positions. A few behavioral/hypothetical scenarios, how would I react etc.
I interviewed at Harvard University (Cambridge, MA)
Interview
Very pleasant & quick interview process, which is probably not the norm here or with other universities. Friendly team with efficient time management during the interview process. They were inclusive, welcoming, inquisitive, and asked great questions.

Question 1
How do you feel about needing to jump onto a different task when you are working on something already?
Patience is required for candidates to move through the process. Expect questions based on emotional intelligence. Come ready to discuss work situations and your ability to navigate them. Candidates meet with several immediate working teammates and additional colleagues.

Question 1
Describe a time when you made a mistake and how you resolved it.
Very good. They were timely and to the point. I felt comfortable asking about the what the role looked like off of paper and felt like I received honest information from them.
