I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Thermo Fisher Scientific (South San Francisco, CA) in Apr 2018
Interview
Contacted by a recruiter. One introductory phone interview (30 mins) and one final in-person interview (2.5 hours) mostly 1 on 1s with senior scientists one 2 on 1. Thought it went very well, but was not offered the position.

Question 1
Describe a time you troubleshot a complex process/ system in your previous work experience?
I had a screening interview shortly after submitting the application. The call went well, the recruiter indicated that I am well aligned with the role and that the would like to move quickly with the application so I can expect a relatively fast process. At this point I have been waiting for any feedback for 1.5 months and have not even received an automated rejection email.

Multiple interviews you need to go through but with standard questions. Interviewers were very nice and easy to talk to. Be able to discuss the current work you are doing and your attributes
