Candidate interview experiences
First-hand accounts from people who interviewed at Georgia Tech Research Institute.
Research Assistant
So first, I had to do some coding questions on my own before the actual interview. Then, the formal interview started with a chat about the Research Institute, the work vibe, and my past projects. After that, we dove into some technical Java questions. It's pretty basic stuff, aimed at students who are eager to learn, so don't expect anything harder than a data-structures class.
- How do you return an ordered list from a tree using BFS?
- Can you describe encapsulation in Java?
- What is polymorphism in Java?
Research Assistant
We started with a resume walkthrough, and they asked a few easy behavioral questions. There were minimal technical questions. The primary investigator interviewed me in a single round. They also asked if I would be open to learning specific skills and went into great detail about the position.
- Could you elaborate on the xyz project?
- Are you willing to learn certain skills?
- Tell me more about your experience with the xyz project.
Research Assistant
After applying online and getting an email, there were interviews. It was a pretty typical process overall, so I wouldn't worry about it if you're going through it. My advice is to apply to as many jobs online as you can.
