I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at MIT in Apr 2022
Interview
I applied online and was contacted the next day. The hiring manager was very excited and seemed interested. He set me up with HR for the following Monday (it was Friday) and the HR screening went well. Then met with a few people on the team. Then silence. Checked in twice before finding out they went in a different direction.
Very easy! Phone screen first, then two rounds. Only hitch was that they could not be flexible on dates. I found the process very simple and I was well taken care of during the course of the interview day.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What appeals to you about working at MIT? What is appealing about our mission?
It was a difficult interview, and I did not get the job. It was a great learning experience for what I needed to be better prepared to answer. I wish I could go back in time and redo it!
