Very friendly team. Extremely engaged in the work and eager to talk science. The team was eager to hear about my protein purification/prep experience and to engage in an exchange of ideas. Overall very positive experience.

Question 1
What are some examples of challenges you've had with protein production?
I first had a phone interview with pretty standard interview questions (Tell me about yourself, and how you work with others) and then got an email a few days after to do a group interview with teamwork assignments. A few days later got an offer but declined due to personal conflicts.

I interviewed at Teknova (Hollister, CA) in Mar 2021
Interview
Wanted to provide some insight into the recruiting process during the pandemic. Teknova has handled the impacts of the coronavirus pandemic so gracefully and thoughtfully. They kept my health and safety top of the mind. I applied and was contacted via email by my recruiter Joanne who kept in communication with me the entire process. I was invited for an over the phone interview where we discussed some of my background, role responsibilities, and expectations. The second part of the interview was an in person interview. This part I had with three different individuals within the department I was applying for, (Be prepared dive into your background and some of your accomplishments). After this I was sent an offer letter where I chose to accept. After accepting the position you then are given a date for an orientation where you actually get to start with other people recently hired in the organization and learn important policy and culture information, faces of the organization, the great benefits they have to offer, and of course an introduction your new place of work!
