Application

I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at MIT (Cambridge, MA) in Jan 2023

Interview

Was emailed a few days after applying. Had time set up, and had an interview over Zoom. HR wants to hear why you're the best, and will make you feel like you probably aren't if you're not meeting their expectations.

Question 1

Standard questions such as "tell me about yourself," and "where do you see yourself in 5 years."
