I got in touch with the Manager of the Cloud Computing Group via a referral, expressing my interest to work in that group. We exchanged a couple of emails and spoke on the phone to discuss more about the position. A panel of 6 people interviewed me over 2 days. Most of the questions were Research based. It was more like a discussion / brainstorming session rather than a stereotypical interview. They focused on my thesis, research, and inquired about my skills and academic/ professional interests.
