San Antonio, TXPosted Sep 2015 · Candidate report, summarized by Dataford

My process started with meetings with several leadership-level people, including managers in the department and up through the director and division VP.

The interviews felt genuinely interested in learning about my background rather than just following a script.

They also asked me to present on my master’s research, and the presentation was attended by multiple department folks. During the time I was in the room, the questions stayed connected to my work and my perspective, and it never felt like I was being pushed into overly technical traps.

I didn’t end up getting an offer, but the overall experience felt positive and respectful. The part I appreciated most was that the senior people seemed to actually want to understand what I’d done
