Interview
Interview for a scientist position and had to prepare for a presentation. I was told to bring it on a flash drive however due to security blockage, I was not able to present my deck I worked on and had to open an old unrevised draft from an email I had saved. I was disappointed that I was not able to present my finalized deck. Interview went ok however I felt. Everyone was very nice and accommodating. Lunch was great too.
