I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Bayer (Kansas City, MO) in Jul 2016
Interview
I was contacted by a recruiter to apply and then an in person interview 1 week later. I had two people interviewing but it can be up to 3 people. It was a fun interview and they came with a list of questions. I was told, after being hired on, that if they skip a lot of questions during the interview, they don't like you. But Lorena and Mark were very friendly and funny.
