I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Bruker (Fairfax, VA) in May 2021
Interview
There were 3 rounds of the interview process. 1. Phone, 2. Video interview with the hiring manager and 3. 5 Hr interview with multiple people from the company. Overall the interview was solid. On my 3rd interview, I was asked to present my past research topics for about 30-40min followed by questions. The questions were pretty straight forward, asking about the technology. Also, each interview was about 30 mins. All the interviewee were very nice and willing to listen and answer any questions I have. Overall, it was a good experience.

Interview
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
Les collègues potentiels sont racistes. Au cours de l'entretien ils ont corrigé mon français plusieurs fois. Je suis OK quand les gens me corrigent mais pendant l'entretien j'ai eu l'impression qu'ils ont déjà décidé que ma candidature ne les convient pas. Rien à voir avec les managers et les RH, ils étaient à l'écoute et gentils. Mais l'impression globale est mauvaise.
