Interview
HR manager called for a phone screen interview
First asked questions regarding past employment history including specific skill sets and types of tools used. Asked specific questions to test detail knowledge of previous work. Then moved onto ask questions regarding molecular diagnostics. The questions were detailed questions regarding how to troubleshoot when facing problems with PCR, q-PCR assays, such as contamination problems and amplification problems.
Clear and organized. Recruiter and hiring manager kept me informed of next steps and timelines. Interview process was focused and streamlined. TA partner had a good understanding of the team, role, and what the hiring manager was looking for, made it easy to prioritize this role from the start of the process
I interviewed for the Marlborough site. It was a very straightforward process: phone screen, video interview, on-site, then a final video interview.
Throughout the whole process, everything was smooth and organized, and everyone involved was very respectful and nice. A lot of the interview involved questions regarding past experience and high-level approaches to problems.
It was a very thorough and friendly interview. I was interrogated at one point, but there were reasonable questions during the entire process. I was exhausted by the end of it, but I learned a lot about the position and the culture the company holds.
