      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Cornell University

      Interview

      Very slow, you can apply and never hear back. You might get called for a phone interview and then a face to face. Most times it 2 interview rounds. They are very slow to hire.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      I once was asked, if you are driving a car and have a balloon in the front seat and have to stop soon which way would the balloon go? Faculty usually ask these types of questions. Important to be humble.
