I applied online. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (New York, NY) in Sep 2023

Interview

There’s an initial 15 mins or so phone screening interview. Once you pass the screening interview, a virtual interview with a department looking to hire is scheduled. The initial phone interview person shared interview material specific to MSK and the types of questions they’d be asking to better prepare. During the virtual interview with the hiring staff, the staff made a big effort to make it seem personable and like a regular conversation.

Interview Questions
  • Can you recall a time you made a haste decision and regretted it?

The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center

Interview

The initial HR screening was informative and comfortable. The interview with the hiring manager was jarring. We did not speak for very long before I was informed I wasn't the right fit. While I appreciated not being strung along, it was unusual and made me feel like I had wasted everyone's time. I wish they just hadn't even interviewed me if my experience was not what they were looking for.

Interview Questions
  • Very little questions were asked. I explained my background and experience (pretty much what was on my resume) and then was very quickly told I wasn't right.

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?
