First was a phone interview, then an in person one. The phone interview is a quick screening very simple. The in person interview was a four person interview with HR for 15 minutes and three supervisors, managers, or team leaders for 30 minutes each. They leave a lot of room for you to ask questions about the job, and they expect to see you have questions showing your interest in the position. Also, they do offer you something to drink and I would take it because you will be there for a decent amount of time.

I applied through other source. I interviewed at Thermo Fisher Scientific
Interview
three people, one after the other. seemed a bit excessive for a $13/hr position. 300 applicants for 50 open positions. I have a biotech B.S. and I can sell myself. that's why I got in, I believe.
