I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at GenScript (Piscataway, NJ) in Aug 2015
Interview
The interview process was a bit long. I interviewed with five different people, for this position there wasn't a lot of technical questions. most of the questions were relatively generic questions such as "what is your strength/weakness", "Any experience working in this discipline". I think the most important questions were how you were going to accommodate their schedule with nightshift. I think now they are trying to standardize the interview procedure and have group interviews in the future.
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at GenScript in Apr 2025
Interview
Overall disorganized. I was not aware the interview would involve two candidates and treated the other candidate as the hiring manager until they joined later than the established time. Questions were short and had little to do with the position many of which were asked more than once.
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at GenScript (Redmond, WA) in Jun 2023
Interview
It will begin with a simple phone call screening when they sort of get to now you and your knowledge in regards to the position. Next, was a video call interview where they asked more in-depth science related questions. Lastly, an in-person presentation interview where you will present yourself and background, then be asked question by a panel of people associated to the team you are interviewing for.
Too much complicated interview process even for an entry level position. Three rounds and a powerpoint presentation for an entry level position?! Also, assigned HR was somewhat condescending in terms of asking a lot of questions and she seemed in a hurry to end the preliminary phone call.

Question 1
HR-related questions, provided complicated instructions over a powerpoint presentation for an entry level job. Too much complicated. HR rather seemed in a hurry to finish the preliminary round.
