      Anonymous employee
      Belfast, Northern Ireland
      Accepted offer
      Negative experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Varian Medical Systems (Belfast, Northern Ireland) in Dec 2015

      Interview

      Pretty informal. Three Skype interviews concerning my experience with radiation transport Monte Carlo, and MatLab. We discussed the resources necessary to seriously develop a Monte Carlo application. From experience I stated I had always used big clusters. They insisted they had powerful workstations that turned out to be insufficient for the goal they had set.

      Interview questions [4]

      Question 1

      I was asked to write on-line a MatLab script to reverse the order of numbers stored in a vector.
      1 Answer

      Question 2

      I was asked to show an application I developed using a specific Monte Carlo code they were interested in.

      Question 3

      I was asked to send a more complex MatLab script I had developed
