I applied online. The process took 6 days. I interviewed at Thermo Fisher Scientific (Tampa, FL) in Dec 2021
Interview
Interview was okay. Hiring Manager was very nice. The pay/offer was very little and they are not willing to negotiate. Literally gave me an offer with a “take it or leave it” attitude. Even benefits are nonnegotiable!
Very technical-oriented interview, with only a few behavioral questions. Expect a lot of questions related to the job description. Not too difficult but be prepared for rapid fire chemistry questions.
Had two virtual interviews, around 30 minutes each. Basic behavioral questions with the usual “describe a situation where you overcame an obstacle” type questions. Talked through resume, felt rather low pressure.
I interviewed at Thermo Fisher Scientific (Greenville, NC)
Interview
Generic star questions, just what you expect anywhere else. So I guess you should find the standard questions and have an answer for them. Other than that getting the interview wasn't hard
