Went well, very organized. Recruiter call and then coding interview (non-leetcode, more practical problem solving question). Very human, nice, and cooperative on all aspects of the process. Would interview again!
Lengthy and difficult interview process. Make sure to brush up on those leetcode hards and you should be good. Had an initial recruiter call which went through basic behavioral questions.
I applied online. I interviewed at Benchling in Mar 2026
Interview
After applying on their website I was contacted directly by HR to schedule an introductory call with the hiring manager. The first call was a 30 minute conversation (not an interview) which was supposed to help me gauge my interested in the company and the role. Next I had a 45 minute interview with the same hiring manager where I was asked in-depth questions about my background and how it would directly relate to the role. I also spoke with an additional hiring manager about a similar role but in a different department. After a few days of silence I reached out to HR and they promptly responded that they were no longer moving forward - although everyone enjoyed speaking with me and thought I was a great fit, there were internal business decisions relating to geography that prevented them from continuing the process. Overall, everyone I met there was great and I appreciated their transparency and honesty!
