I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at MilliporeSigma (Jaffrey, NH)
Interview
It was only a few minutes after the agreed upon time, and the interviewer was very polite and professional. I was virtually being offered the job then, but was told that I'd get a call, which came across as more of a formality than anything, and I felt that my chances were pretty good. I did not receive one, however, and I was surprised to find that my emails went unanswered for long periods of time, and with very cryptic responses. I think the person in charge of hiring is simply overworked, as she made casually mentioned the fact that she is responsible for scores of individuals, but as someone seeking gainful employment, it's annoying to not be told whether or not I will hired in a relatively short amount of time.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
There were no real surprise questions that one wouldn't expect from a fairly standard job interview.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at MilliporeSigma (Temecula, CA) in Feb 2014
Interview
Group interview with the entire lab. Asked me normal and general questions. Then moved on to questions about my educational background and future goals. The interview consisted of around 20 people. Each individual took turns asking you a question that ranged from serious to comical. Overall, the experience was intimidating but great!
