Interview process was thorough and easily navigated. Everyone that I spoke with was highly passionate and knowledgable on their processes and mission. It was a great experience and would consider another job there down the road. However, this opportunity was not the right timing.

Difficult Interview
Application

I applied online. I interviewed at Celgene in Dec 2020

Interview

Weeks after submitting resume, I received an email asking for a 30 mins screening with HR. This is the typical interview you get anywhere else: what experience do you have, skills you developed, etc. Then a 2 weeks after that I received an email asking for a virtue interview with 4 members (3 case study and 1 behavior). The case study interview is very innovative where they give you various imaginary could-happen scenario and ask you how you'll react. These are tricky and hard to prepare. You need some hands-on experience and/or good common sense. Of course knowing what the company does never hurts. The behavior one is closer to typical interview with a twist. He would give you a role-playing scenario where he acts like a jerk supervisor that doesn't take any advise and see how you react. In retrospect, I acted too passively aggressive. Not an easy interview but very creative.

Easy Interview
Application

I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Celgene (Summit, NJ) in Sep 2019

Interview

Applied online and was contacted by recruiter within a month. After the phone interview, I went on site for an in-person interview and spent about 3 hours speaking to various functions including Quality, Process Engineering, Admin, a warehouse manager and the hiring manager. Overall, experience was good, however, they didn't have the courtesy to inform me of their decision despite my attempts. After taking the time out, I feel I deserved a courtesy call.

Do you experience that how long the hiring process would take at Thermo Fisher? I got my second interview with hiring manager at the beginning of November but I haven’t heard nothing from them. When I’ve emailed them to check in they just said that the process would be slow, no time frame. I would be able to get an offer soon from other company but work as contractor. Should I wait for Thermo Fisher?

Booz Allen Hamilton Recently applied and I've been referred for an interview! Any tips on interviewing with Booz Allen? And if I am being asked to complete clearance and background upfront, is this a good indicator for being hired?

Applied for a job a few weeks back, got a call from HR yesterday morning about an interview next week. She mentioned she'd shoot me an email with all the interview details, but so far, my inbox is empty. Assuming I'll hear from her early next week, is it normal for them to expect me to show up for an in-person interview on short notice, like couple days?
