J'ai passé un entretien chez Sandia National Laboratories
Entretien
Standard job talk and followup individual meetings, nothing really out of the ordinary. Communication leading up to the interview was clear and I was told who would be interviewing me in advance.
Questions d'entretien [1]
Question 1
Mostly subject matter specific questions about my research
Gave a seminar, which is entirely normal. Did a behavioral interview with a panel of 10 people, which was legitimately weird. Nobody asked difficult technical questions. I don’t think they interviewed anyone else for this position.

Entretien
I had a two-process interview. The first interview was virtual, with basic introductory questions. The second interview was an on-site interview. When I arrived, I got a brief tour of the facilities and then had a 30-minute behavior interview with the team. I had to share a 45-minute presentation regarding my Ph.D. work and answer technical questions for 30~45 minutes. After that, I had two other (more informal) individual interviews with current postdocs to talk about life at Sandia. Overall, it was a very positive experience and got me excited about the available projects.
