I applied through university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (Chico, CA) in Sept 2015
Interview
Wasn't asked any technical question, though we were told we would be. Interviewed by cool person. The guy said the laboratory was fun to work at and they were flexible
I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (Livermore, CA) in Sept 2010
Interview
I found the job on dice. The initial communications and interview process were fine. I met with a team over 1 day and found the people very friendly and intelligent.
The post-interview process was very poor. I was told it would take a while and to check back in a few weeks. Ok, I did that. No answer. Finally, after 6 weeks, I called HR and lo and behold, I was called and offered the job later that same day. However, the offer was rescinded a week later. I was told the job was no longer available. Very strange. Seemed like there was a large disconnect between HR and the hiring team.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
I was surprised that none of the questions was very difficult. In fact, interviewers asked the same question, several times.
