I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Thermo Fisher Scientific (Chicago, IL) in Jan 2025
Interview
I was on the second stage of the interview process. I had 2 interviewers and they seemed to be really out of it by the time I went on. They did not seem very interested, therefore I had a hard time making a fluid conversation with them.
Very welcoming and they moved the process quick, did not have much of an issue answering questions. They had lots of behavioral questions and a bit of skills check. I was very satisfied with the whole process.
