I applied online. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Syngenta in Feb 2009
Interview
A group of candidates was present. We visited the company, then had dinner with the interviewers. The next day we had 4 interviews : human resources with personality test, technical interview and two interviews consisting of giving examples of different situations : team work, creativity, establishing a strategy. The interview was only giving examples and was not very interactive.

Interview
I was contacted by Adecco, a hiring company, who were great. The woman gave a lot of detail about how to prepare for the interview. Although, not much was given about the specific position I was interviewing for. Therefore it was difficult to know how to prepare for the interview. The person interviewing me was nice, but was very vague about the position details. Questions were just about my experience relevant to the job. I was able to walk around the lab, and see everything. Specifics such as benefits, salary/pay rate were not clear at all.
