I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Bachem (Vista, CA)
Interview
The interview was on site with two hiring managers each cane in at separate times. Then you had an interview with HR. The interview was long with the manager talking for most of it describing the company. He asked a lot of questions chemistry based. They said they would contact you in a week but they never do.
I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Bachem (Vista, CA) in Jun 2018
Interview
Five people interviewed me at the same time, it was a little nerve racking. One grilled me on the concept of NMR, turns out they dont even have an NMR...
I applied online via Craigslist and got contacted by a recruiter. The recruiter was very professional, but I can't say the same about the people who interviewed me from the company. I had a panel interview and although one of them was a good, the other two were unprofessional. One was doodling and the other was just not really caring about what he was doing in the room. And these were supervisors. Im actually not surprised given the overall rating of this company on this website.
