It was very low-stress compared to other jobs, particularly because this was for a student position. I am unsure how it went for me personally though, since I have not yet received their decision, and I think it is really competitive. Many students are always looking for lab positions, so I'm not sure where I stand in this.

The interview process was quite brief. They took me to a seated area next to the elevators and began asking about my experiences at UC San Diego, the classes that I took, why I wanted to be a lab assistant, and asked a majority of behavioral questions. After the interview, I didn't get a response until 6 months later, which was kind of odd. I'm assuming they initially hired the first person they interviewed and needed an additional lab assistant a couple of months after that and decided to hire me.
