      Positive experience
      Average interview

      I interviewed at MIT (Boston, MA)

      Interview

      Straight forward procedure. I was asked about my research and about the funding opportunities. I had to give a talk to other researchers and perform a teaching demo as well. Nothing extremely difficult or not expected. In total, very straight forward procedure with kind and nice people

      Neutral experience
      Difficult interview

      I applied online. The process took 5 months. I interviewed at MIT (Cambridge, MA) in Apr 2015

      Interview

      a phone screening, and then you gave a seminar, then another skype interview. The day you gave a seminar, you spend a whole day there, talking to a few professors, some of them ask you about your future research, some of them ask you tough questions.

      Assistant Professor Interview

      2 May 2018
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Cambridge, MA
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at MIT (Cambridge, MA) in Jan 2014

      Interview

      Requirements included a one hour job talk with question and answer period afterwards, one on one interview with a current faculty member, and an interview with faculty search committee. After the process, I felt that the committee already had the right candidate in mind and needed to go through the motions with other candidates.
