I applied online. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at Thermo Fisher Scientific (Athlone) in Dec 2023
Interview
The process itself was slow and unprofessional. I was offered the job and decided to reject this offer based on the interview style. Took substantial time for the offer to be sent as well.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Typical interview questions.
Name a time you had to deal with conflict etc
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
