Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory Research Scientist interview experience

The first one felt more casual, but the second was noticeably more technical and included a presentation. The presentation itself ran about an hour, and it was followed by another hour of back-and-forth.

I left the second session feeling like the bar was high and the interviewers were focused on specifics—more depth than broad fit. Even though everything was structured, the overall difficulty leaned hard for me, especially because the presentation and the technical follow-ups were tightly connected.
