I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Beckman Coulter Diagnostics (West Sacramento, CA) in Dec 2015
Interview
Two rounds of phone interviews followed by an on site series of interviews lasting several hours. The problem was the recruiters were impossible to reach to get any status response or update, and even when one was given it had no definite answers - just - still waiting. The interview was fine, working with the recruiters was not so good. They were impossible to get any information or contact with post-interview and failed to respond to any inquiries until the 5th or 6th attempt, and even then often did not respond.

Question 1
Situation related question with your day-to-day job
I applied online. The process took 5 months. I interviewed at Beckman Coulter Diagnostics (Istanbul) in Oct 2023
Interview
My interview process was similar to any other company's interview process such as ;
- Company webpage application
- First online interview with Global HR
- Online Interview with CEO
- Assessment
- Case presentation
- F2F İnterview
- Offer process
I have been offered the position with Global HR and I accepted the offer then reciewed a welcome e-mail from Global team also which was informing me that I will get a call and official offer letter from Turkish HR. Instead just after couple of hours I recieved a call from Turkish HR telling me that they made the offers to last 2 candidates and they would like to withdraw the offer they made to me, and would like to continue with other candidate. I replied to Turkish HR that I respect their decision although I find the situation very unprofessional and unethical.
That was the situation I have never heard or experienced before. I hope this never happens to any body else and Global HR finds the responsible person for this.
The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Beckman Coulter Diagnostics
Interview
I had a screening call then a call back to do interview with hiring manager and then a call back to interview with three team members. All within a few days. I was told upfront that there were three roles to fill. The process moved quickly for the first three steps. The interviews all went really well and I fulfilled all job requirements. Then, nothing for three weeks. I sent multiple emails and calls to get feedback and the recruiter , who was very kind, finally called me back and could not provide feedback except that there was one international candidate that needed to be interviewed. I waited a few more weeks and still no news, so I chased down the recruiter again and he told me that they moved forward with internal candidate. Looking back, I believe they had no intentions of hiring from the outside and if I had not been persistent they would have ghosted me. Not cool! I will not apply to any more roles here.
