I applied through other source. I interviewed at ERM in Aug 2024
Interview
Two rounds of interviews. One behavioral with an HR representative and another technical with partners and senior staff. My interview also included a brief quiz testing my chemical knowledge but that may have been the hiring manager's specific preference.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Picked out a piece of experience on my resume and asked what I learned from it.
I applied online. I interviewed at ERM (Austin, TX) in Oct 2014
Interview
The process began with an easy HR-oriented phone interview. After this, I was invited to attend an in-person interview with 3 staff members. In hindsight, I should have never taken this offer based on the interview itself - the person who went on to become my manager was late, distracted, and left early. The other two interviewers were the director of the Austin office and another staff engineers. Whilst the director was kind, the other engineer was very rude. During the interview I could see her doodling on my resume, and when it was her turn to ask me questions she asked 'what do you suck at?' in a very rude tone. Even her colleague looked ashamed. Very unprofessional and needless to say, a horrible experience having her as a coworker.
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at ERM (East Hartford, CT) in Feb 2019
Interview
I applied for the position, then around a week later, I got a request to do a video interview online. It is a very awkward process of recording yourself answering questions. There is a written portion first, then the video portion. I recorded the interview on a Saturday, then received an in-person interview request for that Thursday. The in-person interview went well, there were your typical experience questions, but they also let you show your personality. I feel like they were seeing if I was a technical and culture fit for the office. The next day, I recieved a verbal offer, and the following Monday or Tuesday I recieved the written offer.
