Mission: Labman is a creative environment where friendly, enthusiastic engineers produce world leading custom laboratory automation and products. We believe in customers being clients for life; delighted with every project.
I have been working at Labman Automation as an intern (Less than a year)
Pros
There is so much going on at Labman that you have the opportunity to get involved in anything you want. All the staff are really friendly and are happy to help with any issues or direct you to someone who can help. The office is virtually spotless and the facilities provided are fantastic.
Cons
You are thrown in at the deep end which can be quite stressful to begin with.
Advice to Management
It would be nice to be introduced to a few different staff members, other than my mentor, that I would then be able to go to if I need help.
Application
I applied online. The process took 2+ months. I interviewed at Labman Automation (Seamer, England (UK)) in March 2018.
Interview
An initial telephone interview was conducted containing 40 general science knowledge questions and a general chat about interests and my CV. This was followed by an assessment centre style day. This involved a day of interviewing followed by a meal with an overnight stay in a local hotel for candidates not from the local area.
The day began with a site tour this was followed by interviews comprised of 6 test stations in which a task had to be completed in 5 minutes these were:
Wire a plug
Solder wires to a d connector
Make a test tube rack from paper
Describe how to open a jar without referring to clocks
Describe how a car jack works
General talk with staff
Following this there was a group exercise in which a pick and mix machine had to be designed for a fictional client. This was followed by an evening meal.
