I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at NanoTemper Technologies
Interview
First step was a short phone interview with a recruiter to check that my skills and experience were a match for the role. Next was a phone interview with the hiring manager so that they could ask similar questions about my background, experience etc. Final step was an in-person interview that lasted a few hours with the hiring manager and other senior team members. During this interview I gave a scientific presentation, and we also did some role play exercises. There were questions that were very scientific and technical, as well as questions about how you would handle various situations that could arise in this type of role (working with customers, working with sales colleagues etc).
