I applied online. I interviewed at UCLA (San Jose, CA) in Jan 2019
Interview
It was informal and casual. Friendly and easy going. Good vibes from all participants. Good back and forth dialogue. Not stressful at all. Panel interview format was ok. No need for anyone to worry if they get a call.
I applied online. The process took 4 months. I interviewed at UCLA (Los Angeles, CA) in Mar 2016
Interview
Took a long time. People are very nice and proud of the university. Seems to be plenty opportunity to move around and develop. Good benefits are offered. Company seems to appreciate employees with experience regardless of age.
Be prepared for big picture as well as tactical interview questions. Use the ucla.edu site to explore the chain of command and department. The online system asks for in depth info about dates and contacts at each prior position. Can respond with do not contact prior organization. Fairly quick on the initial contact and phone interviews and then more drawn out with in person rounds. May depend on timing in the quarter and academic year.
