Very length process. Had several interviews and prepared a project that took me hours to get ready, just to hear that they chose someone with a background in Science. So, why make people spend their time if they don't have the background you want? I went to the last stage of the process to hear that. That's unfortunate, the hiring manager seemed to be very nice and good to work with.
- How can you perform well in this position here if you don't have a background in Science?

I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Eppendorf (Hamburg) in Oct 2022
Erstkontakt durch Recruiter, der Themen wie grobe Erfahrung und Motivation zum Wechsel abgefragt hat. Darauf Bewerbung nur mit Lebenslauf. Es folgte ein Videogespräch mit dem Fachbereichsleiter, hier ging es vertieft um die Erfahrung, Eigenschaften des angebotenen Jobs sowie Punkte, die kritisch sein könnten. Als letztes folgte eine Fallstudie, ich bekam etwa eine Woche vorher eine Powerpoint-Präsentation mit einer Aufgabe, die ich bearbeiten sollte: Es war ein Szenario gegeben, zu dem ich Ziele, Arbeitspakete, Zeitrahmen, Stakeholder etc. präsentieren sollte. Die Präsentation erfolgte auf Englisch vor Ort, vor drei Personen: HR, zukünftiger Teamkollege und Teamleiter. Danach gab es noch eine Diskussion. Die Atmosphäre war entspannt und freundlich. Positive Aspekte: Die Fallstudie war eine tolle Vorbereitung, um auch ein besseres Gefühl für die Aufgaben zu entwickeln, die mich erwarten würden, außerdem konnte ich so mein Können zeigen, das nicht so direkt aus dem CV abzulesen war. Aus dem Umgang zwischen Teamkollege (eher junior) und Vorgesetztem konnte ich ein sehr gutes Betriebsklima herauslesen. Die Zusage kam innerhalb weniger Stunden und der Anstellungsprozess hätte innerhalb von ein bis zwei Wochen erledigt sein können. Die Wartezeit zwischen Videogespräch und Fallstudie war etwas lang (etwas drei Wochen). In der Zeit hatte ich bereits ein ebenfalls sehr gutes Angebot bekommen. Auf Grund meiner Erfahrung würde ich eine Bewerbung bei Eppendorf aber definitiv empfehlen, scheint ein gutes, sympathisches Unternehmen mit spannenden Aufgaben zu sein.
- Im Bezug auf die Fallstudie wurde explizit nach Risiken gefragt.

3 hours long with four different company members. The first 3 interviewers are in person and the final interviewer is online with a technical problem to solve. I have not attended the interview yet, but this is how I assume the process will go.
- I do not know yet.

Anonymous Interview Candidate in Enfield, CT
I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Eppendorf (Enfield, CT) in Jun 2022
The interview process was lengthy over a month; however, I was impressed with their vetting process. I interviewed over video first and then had a sit down interview with several heads of departments ( a total of 6 interviews). I did not get the job which was disappointing. I do think this company is a great company to work for and I liked that they took their time to find the right person for the job even if it wasn't me.
- They asked questions on certification of parts and how I would handle doing the job with them

I applied online. The process took 8 weeks. I interviewed at Eppendorf in Dec 2021
Etwa 2 Wochen nach Abschicken der Bewerbung kam ein netter Anruf mit einer Einladung zu einem ersten Kennenlerngespräch, welches ein paar Tage später stattfinden sollte. Das erste Gespräch wurde mit einer Person aus der HR-Abteilung sowie aus der Fachabteilung durchgeführt (per Video, da Coronawinter2021/22). Thematisch ging es v.a. ums Kennenlernen sowie die eigene berufliche Herkunft. Feedback zu diesem Gespräch gab es wenige Tage später mitsamt einer Einladung zu einem zweiten Gespräch. Dafür wurde 1 Woche vor dem zweiten Gespräch eine stellenbezogene Case Study-Aufgabe übermittelt, die vorbereitet und dann auf Englisch beim eigentlichen Gespräch präsentiert werden sollte (wieder per Video). Teilnehmer waren wie zuvor eine Person aus der HR-Abteilung, der Leiter der Fachabteilung, sowie zusätzlich ein Abteilungsleiter einer verwandten Sparte. Fragen kamen dann vor allem zu der Präsentation sowie zu weiteren themenbezogenen Szenarien. Ein drittes Gespräch wurde unmittelbar darauf per Video durchgeführt und beinhaltete den Austausch ausschließlich mit einigen potentiellen KollegInnen, was eine gute Möglichkeit war konkrete Fragen zum zukünftigen Alltag zu stellen. Endgültiges Feedback mitsamt einem Angebot kam kurz darauf per Telefonat.
- z.B: Wie würden sie in Konfliktsituation XY reagieren?

Dry. Mechanical. Not very human, almost dismissive. The salary range was pathetic for the vast skillsets requested. After some analysis, learned a bus driver earns more. They really need to do some quality research, and offer a good salary to attract qualified people, and motivate them to then add value to the company.
- Salary, skills, vaccination, commute, reason for leaving past job.
