Application
I interviewed at Sandia National Laboratories (Albuquerque, NM)

Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Tell us about a time you had to overcome conflict?
It's customary to give a talk. Series of half-hour interviews over the course of a day, mostly describing your work and standard questions like "why do you want to work here?" or "what are your research interests?"

Many technical interviews. Limited behavioral questions. Really kind people, will require a technical presentation and be ready to answer several questions during that. You will meet with several scientists on levels above and the same as you.
