Le processus a pris plus de 2 mois. J'ai passé un entretien chez ETH Zurich
Entretien
The process started off with a rather informal phone interview. Subsequently a face-to-face interview was scheduled. Overall the process was tedious due to the submission requirements (research proposal + research presentation + interviews). During the interview misleading signals were sent. For instance, I was told many project details, even salary information and they asked me to “think about it and then get back to us”. However, I got a rejection the same day. Overall, not a very professional interview. The interview panel should have been more neutral in their communication...
