First-hand accounts from people who interviewed at Georgia Tech Research Institute.
Software Engineer Intern
So there were 2 rounds in total. The first one was a behavioral interview, which was pretty chill, I talked with a nice lady, and we mostly went over my resume. The second round was technical. I definitely studied more for that one. My advice is just practice easy to medium LeetCode problems.
- Can you create a function that accepts start, end, and step as parameters?
- Write code to sum up all the numbers in a given array.
Student Researcher
The interview process usually involves discussing your resume. I experienced a friendly panel interview where the main goal was to confirm a genuine interest in IT or cybersecurity. They want to ensure their roles aren't just for padding resumes of software engineers, but are for candidates specifically interested in network engineering, IT, or cybersecurity.
- Regarding your resume, could you specify the Linux distribution you mentioned installing?
- Can you name the linux distribution you claim to have installed on your machine?
Full Stack Engineer
The interview started with a bunch of basic Java questions since the job was mostly Java. After that, I was given a few broken Java files that were supposed to be an app with an interface and an enum. I had to debug them and explain my thinking to the interviewer. The last part was a LeetCode easy/medium question where I had to code it live while talking through my approach.
- Can you explain the use case for a static variable?
AI/ML Engineer
I had a quick phone call with the division chief, who asked me a couple questions about my background but mostly wanted to schedule my main interview and told me they do a very quick interview process at GTRI. The next week, I gave a talk on my research background and they asked me "get to know you" questions. I was surprised that they wanted me to explain my research plan in detail, when I had applied for an engineering-focused position rather than a research scientist position. A couple weeks later, I told them I had another offer, and they said they couldn't get back to me before the deadline for my other offer.
- What research topics are you planning to pursue?
- Would you be interested in writing grants to fund your research?
