I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Charles River Laboratories (Mattawan, MI) in Aug 2018
Interview
Three laboratory staff members interviewed me in what seemed like three separate interviews. They were all personable, and the interview was moderate in length. Each asked questions that neither led to "follow-on" questions by themselves or the others, and the three sets of questions were disparate. Each question therefore was an "all-or-nothing" proposition, and no discussion ever developed.
Interview questions [2]
Question 1
One of the three staff interviewers asked what I would do if I suddenly came into possession of USD 1 million in funds. No questions were asked following up on my response (questions like "Why?" or "Would you like the question defined further? (would the funds be restricted in any way, etc)". Another interviewer challenged me to come up with 3 uses for an ordinary pencil ("other than writing"). There was virtually no back-and-forth throughout the interview no matter the question asked.

Interview
Ein Vorstellungsgespräch beginnt meist mit einer kurzen Begrüßung und dem Vorstellen der Gesprächspartner. Danach erklärt der Arbeitgeber den Ablauf und stellt das Unternehmen sowie die ausgeschriebene Stelle vor. Anschließend erzählst du etwas über dich, deinen Werdegang, deine Erfahrungen und warum du dich beworben hast. Daran schließen sich gezielte Fragen zu Fachwissen, Persönlichkeit und Motivation an. Am Ende hast du die Möglichkeit, eigene Fragen zu stellen, und es wird häufig der weitere Ablauf des Bewerbungsprozesses erklärt, bevor man sich verabschiedet
