I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Thermo Fisher Scientific in Apr 2021
Interview
I applied for the PM position online. I was contacted by an in-house recruiter a couple of weeks later. I initially interviewed with the hiring manager followed by another manager. Both interviews were casual and positive. Afterwards the recruiter told me they would have a decision in a couple of days. After multiple follow-ups where I kept being told “the team needed more time to make a decision”, I gave up and stopped asking about an update. I never heard from them again. I didn’t appreciate the games of being told to give them more time while they clearly were interviewing and hiring another candidate.

I interviewed at Thermo Fisher Scientific (Hesston, PA)
Interview
Missleading, inaccurate, not realistic. promised everything and delivered nothing. Very sad I was so hopeful and happy to try and have a career there but it was a was of time and so much stress.

Question 1
Honestly dont remember but they were just S.T.A.R questions.
It was a terrible interview process. Made me do several rounds of interviews with a constant rotation of recruiters. Incredibly unprofessional with no updates for months. Only decided to close my application when I followed up. One of the interviewers was also incredibly negative about his experience at Thermofisher Scientific, often commenting, "people here aren't future-forward thinking".
This is bureaucracy at its finest, and I would recommend anyone applying to Thermofisher Scientific to have a 10-foot pole distance from them. They will make you go through a roller coaster for nothing.
Phone screen with the recruiter, then a video call, followed by an on site panel interview. The panel interview had 5 different people in 30 minute blocks, with potential coworkers and HR.
