I applied through a recruiter. The process took 7 weeks. I interviewed at Thermo Fisher Scientific (Sunnyvale, CA)
Interview
Long interview process, several weeks apart and HR will never update you of the clear steps. Takes forever to get final approval.
Thought I never got the job and started to look for another company. To learn after a long time(?) that they need references and they actually called every one on the list.

Question 1
Why do you want to work for Thermo Fisher?
What do you like or dislike about your previous job?
I interviewed at Thermo Fisher Scientific (Hesston, PA)
Interview
Missleading, inaccurate, not realistic. promised everything and delivered nothing. Very sad I was so hopeful and happy to try and have a career there but it was a was of time and so much stress.

Question 1
Honestly dont remember but they were just S.T.A.R questions.
It was a terrible interview process. Made me do several rounds of interviews with a constant rotation of recruiters. Incredibly unprofessional with no updates for months. Only decided to close my application when I followed up. One of the interviewers was also incredibly negative about his experience at Thermofisher Scientific, often commenting, "people here aren't future-forward thinking".
This is bureaucracy at its finest, and I would recommend anyone applying to Thermofisher Scientific to have a 10-foot pole distance from them. They will make you go through a roller coaster for nothing.
Phone screen with the recruiter, then a video call, followed by an on site panel interview. The panel interview had 5 different people in 30 minute blocks, with potential coworkers and HR.
