      Senior Scientist Interview

      22 Feb 2011
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Raleigh, NC
      No offer
      Neutral experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      The process took 1 day. I interviewed at BD (Raleigh, NC) in Jan 2011

      Interview

      All day interview that started with a 45 minute talk with 15 min Q&A followed by a series of one-on-one or multi-person interviews. Everyone I met was personable and professional but I was not challenged technically nor would anyone tell me specifics of the job; questions were mostly "describe a situation where...". Lunch experience was underwhelming as it involved sitting in their on-site cafeteria with an unappetizing food selection, boring pleasantries, and excessive background noise. Final interview was with HR and I knew I didn't get the job when the rep spent the entire time BS'ing with me. The hiring manager said three weeks for a decision but I didn't let the door hit me on the way out.

      Senior Scientist Interview

      13 May 2014
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Declined offer

      Application

      I interviewed at BD

      Interview

      Overall the experience went well, interviewers were friendly, but I was not impressed with the overall operation. This was for a job in Baltimore and the hiring manager for a senior scientist position was fresh out of a PhD program - did not seem like the right fit for me. I was offered the job after a few weeks of waiting, and by then had already accepted another offer.

      I was asked your typical behavioral interview questions read directly off of some generic list.
