Hey all! I have an onsite interview at LLNL the first week of August for a mechanical engineer role. I'm flying in from Maryland and staying about 5 days, so this trip is part interview, part scouting whether I could see myself living here after a cross-country move.
A few things I'd love help with:
- Lab folks: if you've interviewed or work there, what should I expect from the onsite format? Anything that surprised you or that you wish you'd prepared for?
- Mock interview: anyone with engineering interview experience willing to do a quick presentation run-through or mock over a call before then? Even 30 minutes of honest feedback would be huge.
- The town: with my free days, what should I explore? downtown, hikes, food spots near the Lab, whatever you'd show a first-time visitor. Honest takes on living in Livermore are welcome too.
Appreciate any wisdom. This community seems friendly, so figured I'd shoot my shot. Thanks!
