I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at SRI International
Interview
Contacted by recruiter for the position that the company had advertised but was low-balled with another low-paying temporary position while being interviewed. Company seems quite disorganized in its scheduling of interviews and does not seem to do its research at what potential candidates are applying for. Sheer waste of time.
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at SRI International
Interview
HR Recruiter will call you for an informal interview if you fit the qualification and set you up with the department interviewers, usually 2 or 3. It takes about 3-4 weeks to finally get brought in. The interviewers may look intimidating but they area very casual.
