They called me 10 minutes after the scheduled time. Seemed like I was asked questions cut from a cookie sheet.

I applied online. I interviewed at Alcami (Wilmington, NC) in Jan 2026
Interview
I had remote interview with one director and one lab senior scientist for the Associate Scientist position. This is the second round interview. The whole process is pretty chill; the questions were not hard
Online interview then after that get an in person interview where you will meet with a few people. Very professional. Get a good taste of company from multiple departments. In person portion is about half a day. They might show you around .
The initial interview was over the phone. The second was a long interview with talking to at least 4 people, typically 2 supervisors and 2 managers. The ask the most basic interview questions and if you already have prior experience they will ask specific questions about those techniques you have done.
