325 senior research scientist interview questions shared by candidates

I had advanced software engineering questions from two technical interviewers, but the questions were well structured and fairly assessed my ability to structure and write code in an R+D environment. The worst is when you're in a technical interview and the technical interviewer has something to prove for whatever reason. This couldn't be further from the case at Yahoo! Even on the technical side, I was being tested as to my ability to collaborative meaningfully on technical topics while maintaining a high level of individual contribution. Whether the question was about software or other topics, the intention from the interviewer was always the right one.

general questions, what I know about the company and their pipeline, followed by some questions about project planning and execution, and some technical questions about flowcytometry, gamma/delta T cells, protein/antibody production, and development of CART. Also some personality time questions; how would your colleges describe you in 3 words and why?

In an undirected connected graph G = (N, A), an Euler tour is a walk that starts at some node, visits each arc exactly once, and returns to the starting node. A graph is Eulerian if it contains an Euler tour. Show that in an Eulerian graph, the degree of every node is even. Next, show that if every node in a connected graph has an even degree, the graph is Eulerian. Establish the second result by describing an O(m) algorithm for determining whether a graph is Eulerian and, if so, will construct an Euler tour. (Hint: Describe an algorithm that decomposes any graph with only even-degree nodes into a collection of arc-disjoint cycles, and then converts the cycles into an Euler tour.)
