I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Lonza (Houston, TX) in Mar 2019
Interview
Right from the initial phone interview, the hiring team showed genuine interest in getting to know me as a candidate and as an individual. They were incredibly professional, yet approachable, making the process feel comfortable and stress-free. The questions they asked allowed me to showcase my skills and experience while also providing insights into the role and the clinic's work environment.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What safety protocols do you follow when working with hazardous materials or chemicals in the lab? Have you ever encountered an unexpected result during an experiment? How did you handle it? Describe a situation where attention to detail was crucial in your work as a laboratory technician.

Interview
Quite drawn out (several 'screening' interviews online, which communications suggested required prep for, only for them to be repetitive 5-10 minute meetings tell you that they were going to be putting you forward to the hiring manager; upside was they gave an indication of what to prepare for the in-person interview). Actual interview was okay, asked you to run through CV, after which they asked clarifying questions. Then a few more competency- and motivation-based questions (pretty standard), and finished with a VERY basic maths test. Lab tour included.

Tell us about something difficult you have had to overcome?

Interview
Very casual. They had little questions to ask me, it felt I was not a candidate every before the interview was over. Three rounds of this, I don’t think I was actually in the running.
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Lonza (Slough, Berkshire, South East England, England) in Jul 2023
Interview
HR phone call, teams meeting with supervisor, then in person interview with two managers. Questions relating to safety, chemicals, and analytical methods. 30 minute assessment was easy. Then there was a lab tour at the end.
