I applied in-person. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Avantor (Phillipsburg, NJ) in Apr 2011
Interview
Use the SHARE (what was the situation, what were the hindrances; what actions did you take; what was the resolution; final evaluation) model. Will see several interviewers. Each has a series of questions to ask. All interviewers get together to compare notes to make final hiring recommendation.
