Candidate interview experiences
First-hand accounts from people who interviewed at Williams.
Intern
The interview was very technical and focused on my past experience and projects. They really emphasized using the STAR method for answering questions. I was also asked about my group project experiences in classes and how they went. They asked for specific details about projects, even down to the chemicals used in separation.
- Can you explain your teamwork approach and how you ensure projects remain on track and successful?
Intern
Got an email for a video interview where they record you answering a few questions and never heard back. You basically get 3 attempts to answer a question and they take the response you choose. It's very impersonal because you are just talking to a camera. I wasn't a fan of it.
- Can you share an instance where you encountered failure and describe your response to it?
Intern
I got recruited on campus and then had an on-campus interview. It was pretty chill and not too hard. They really seemed to care about personality stuff in their interviews. The first set of questions were pretty basic. The second and last interview was online. The website would give you a question and you had three tries to answer.
- Can you share an instance where you attempted to introduce an idea, detailing the process and your learnings?
- Describe your biggest challenge and how you navigated it.
