Interviewed Feb 2010 in Newark, DE (took 5 days)
I was contacted by HR to set up a phone interview with the hiring manager. The interview was in the evening and lasted well over an hour. I was asked various questions about my background and the work I'd done at my previous employer related to training. I felt the interview went very well until a discussion about salary requirements came up. Since HR had not mentioned salary to me, the hiring manager told me the range they were looking to fill the position at and I indicated that the range appeared to be acceptable but most likely at the higher end versus the lower end. I asked about next steps and the hiring manager indicated that she wanted to bring me in for a panel interview the next week. The next evening however, HR called and I assumed she was calling to schedule the panel interview. Instead, though, she started asking about salary expectations and I told her I had some flexibility and that I had discussed this with the hiring manager the previous evening. She then got rather abrupt with me and proceeded to do an over-the-phone impromptu interview asking me why I felt I was the best candidate for the job along with other questions intended to trip me up - which they did! We ended the call by indicating that she would call me back the next day to confirm the face-to-face timing. I didn't hear from her the day and so called her the following morning. She wasn't there but did call me back that evening to say that they had decided not to pursue my candidacy for the position. I later learned this HR manager wasn't even a permanent employee of the company!

Interviewed Feb 2008 (took 4+ weeks)
I got the initial interview call after applying online in the month of February. I thought my phone interview went really well and I was certain that I will be called for in person. But the following week I got an email that they decided to pursue other candidates. I got the call again in the month of March from the hiring manager and he told me that they have another opening and he will like to consider me. I was called for in person interview and it went really well. It focused more on my background and analytical thinking. I met with 3 different people and got the offer 1 week after that.

Interviewed Jan 2010 (took a day)
Interview went well and was a very candid assessment of the skills and aptitude required for the position. This was a good position w/ good opportunity but the interviewer also revealed the downsides to the position as well.

Interviewed Jun 2007 in Newark, DE (took a day)
The hiring process seemed pretty routine. You'll meet with an HR Representative first, then a series of individual interviews with a panel of employees. When I did it, you sat in a conference room and they came to you, but more recently you'd get a tour of building going to different offices interviewing Some are managers, some will be peers at your level.
To be honest, it wasn't very rigorous for my position. A project leader position is much more thorough and would involve a presentation. I basically talked about courses I took pertininent to my position and my internship experience. Be prepared for everyone to ask if you're prepared to handle blood and urine.
Interview Questions
Negotiation Details
You are no longer able to request extra vacation time. I didn't negotiate salary, I wish I did make a counter offer, but at the time it paid better and was closer to home than another offer I received. I'm not sure how they handle it now that a transparent salary structure is provided to employees.
If you do interview for a Biochemist I position here, you should ask for at least $50k. If you have a good amount of experience (4+ years), I'd ask for $60k
