      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      New York, NY
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Virgin Galactic (New York, NY) in Dec 2016

      Interview

      Contacted by recruiter via LinkedIn. After clearing up some scheduling conflicts, set telephone conference with hiring manager and technical expert. Interviewers were prompt, with the exception of the technical expert who was a bit late.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Random academic textbook questions about Kalman filters by the technical expert in rapid fire succession. Almost no discussion with the hiring manager about my specific experience or more detailed descriptions of the position and expectations of the role.
