I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Thermo Fisher Scientific (Singapore) in Jan 2014
Interview
Interview went for around 1 hour. Interviewers are very friendly and were enthusiastic. But, beware! they might be looking you with wide smiles on their face, but they are deeply observing every bit of you. Do not become emotional if they joke or look so friendly. Keep calm and just smile.
I felt they were becoming very familiar but I suspect they were testing how well I can control my emotions in circumstances like that. May be it requires corporate behavior.
