Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Tell me about yourself, why applied for this job etc standard questions.
I received a phone call after a few days, it was a generic screening interview with basic questions. They then invited me for an interview online on Teams which was approx 30 minutes. Very common questions about background, motivation, expected salary, etc.
I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Thermo Fisher Scientific (Pittsburgh, PA) in Apr 2018
Interview
First I had a phone screen with an H/R person and then another phone interview with the head of the department. I came in for an in person interview and met with the entire team. I received a phone call from the h/r recruiter about a week or so later telling me that the team really liked me and wanted to know if I was interested in the position. I never heard back and followed up with an email about 2 weeks later, was told no decision had been made and then never heard another word. Human resources people apparently don't like giving bad news so they just ignore you.
