I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at BD
Interview
I didn't think I was qualified for the position based on the description. I applied anyway and received a call back within two weeks. The first interview was over the phone with an engineering supervisor. They asked basic questions about my experiences. The second interview was in person with the upper management team. They asked about my experience and future goals. There were several "tell me about a time where you experienced......".
The in person interview was very relaxed. The interviewers were very friendly.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Almost everyone asked "Are you a SC Gamecocks or Clemson Tigers fan?". People in SC take football very seriously although it doesn't matter who you like.
I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at BD (Sparks, MD) in Apr 2014
Interview
It is long. Met with 8 people on one day. Then had a phone interview with two people. Interview with management was positive and right level of technical details and behavioral questions. Engineers asked very theoretical questions. I was hired.
I applied in-person. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at BD (San Jose, CA) in Sep 2011
Interview
The whole process was laid back and conversational. It was a typical interview situation. The hiring manager reviewed my resume and asked questions primarily based on it. After the question and answer session, I was taken on a tour of the facility. During this time, I asked my questions regarding the company culture and specifics about the production line.
