Don't believe anything they say about bonuses or salary. They don't pay well and don't actually give good bonuses. The only reason you should accept this job is if the duties/experience is of interest to you.

Question 1
General behavioral and experience type questions, nothing tricky.
I applied through other source. I interviewed at ERM in Aug 2024
Interview
Two rounds of interviews. One behavioral with an HR representative and another technical with partners and senior staff. My interview also included a brief quiz testing my chemical knowledge but that may have been the hiring manager's specific preference.

Question 1
Picked out a piece of experience on my resume and asked what I learned from it.
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at ERM (East Hartford, CT) in Feb 2019
Interview
I applied for the position, then around a week later, I got a request to do a video interview online. It is a very awkward process of recording yourself answering questions. There is a written portion first, then the video portion. I recorded the interview on a Saturday, then received an in-person interview request for that Thursday. The in-person interview went well, there were your typical experience questions, but they also let you show your personality. I feel like they were seeing if I was a technical and culture fit for the office. The next day, I recieved a verbal offer, and the following Monday or Tuesday I recieved the written offer.
Got a request for an automated online interview completed during a certain time frame, then got a request for an in person interview which included a test, then received a job offer
