Bruker Applications Scientist interview questions

The interview process wasn't bad by itself, it starts with the typical phone call from HR and subsequent online interview, then after a successful online interview an "on site" interview is carried out. My biggest issue was the lack of professionalism in some regards. I received an offer after the interview to which I negotiated and asked for a bit more salary. After asking for the increase in salary I did not get contacted anymore, not with a negative nor a positive answer, I was simply ignored by them. They also did not offer any reimbursement of the costs of travelling to the "on site" interview. It gives an image of the company not wanting to negotiate salaries and also not wanting to please potential future employees.

Interview involved both 1) Informal calls with senior technical staff where the roll was described and I could ask questions, and 2) Formal interview in Coventry. Interview was formal but reasonably relaxed. General questions & discussion about my background, why I wanted to work there, how I would handle travel away from home etc. Had to prepare a short technical presentation. Some of the technical questions were high level, this job would only be suitable for someone with several years experience in the specific instrumentation.
