Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Brief background about myself which proceeded to some technical questions. Technical questions such as reading design drawings and how would I design it. A little on manufacturing questions as this is one of the considerations for designing a product.
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Thermo Fisher Scientific
Interview
I had one phone screen (~1hr) and four video interviews (45min-1hr EA), one with human resources and 3 with direct and indirect reports (engineering managers, etc.). I wish I had also had an interview with a potential peer.
I applied through other source. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Thermo Fisher Scientific (Logan, UT) in Nov 2010
Interview
Just a standard phone interview. Talked about my experience, why I wanted to work there, etc. The interviewer did not work at the job site, so they had a hard time answering some specific questions about the position, the details of the responsibilities, and the job site. No real recommendations, other than to be prepared to talk about the job posting and your previous experience (as you would expect).
