First-hand accounts from people who interviewed at National Ecological Observatory Network.
Software Engineer
Had a group interview with a few people, mostly focusing on methodologies, technologies, frameworks, and unit tests. Some folks also asked about databases, so be ready for some SQL query questions and RDBMS best practices.
- What is the object oriented paradigm?
- Can you explain the object oriented paradigm?
Engineering Technician
I put in an application online and a while later, maybe a month, HR gave me a call for a phone screen. The next week the hiring manager called me again for another phone screen, this time with technical stuff. Then, about two weeks later, I had an interview with a whole panel of 6 people. It took almost a month after that final interview for them to give me an offer.
- Tell me about your past experience.
- Do you have experience with the technical aspects of this role?
Operations Manager
I applied online. I don't think it's worth applying for a job at NEON. They say they review applications, but they already have someone picked out. The company is restructuring, and everyone has to re-apply for their jobs. I find their hiring process unprofessional and unethical, and they should be reviewed by the NSF for their hiring practices, just like they were for how they spent federal money on parties and alcohol.
No confirmed questions were included in this interview report.
Executive Assistant
It was a group interviewing process, and the questions differed for each person. The panel interview went for about two hours. The people interviewing me were a mix of my potential peers, colleagues, and managers. They asked typical questions, touching on how I'd deal with a constantly changing environment and conflict.
- What are your strategies for managing difficult situations and disagreements?
