I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Thermo Fisher Scientific (Canoga Park, CA) in Oct 2015
Interview
Very straight forward interview. They asked a lot about my precious job as a server. Thermo Fisher stresses the importance of teamwork. You could definitely see that they want to know you can work well in a team and independently.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
If you had a conflict with another employee, how would you handle it?
Very technical-oriented interview, with only a few behavioral questions. Expect a lot of questions related to the job description. Not too difficult but be prepared for rapid fire chemistry questions.
Had two virtual interviews, around 30 minutes each. Basic behavioral questions with the usual “describe a situation where you overcame an obstacle” type questions. Talked through resume, felt rather low pressure.
I interviewed at Thermo Fisher Scientific (Greenville, NC)
Interview
Generic star questions, just what you expect anywhere else. So I guess you should find the standard questions and have an answer for them. Other than that getting the interview wasn't hard
