Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Technical or manager paths available, where do you think you'll go?
I applied online. I interviewed at Bio-Techne (Minneapolis, MN) in May 2026
Interview
Interview felt a bit stiff with the managers mainly reading prepared questions from a packet. Other than that, it was pretty pleasant and the lab tour was helpful. It would have been a bit less awkward if there were fewer prescribed questions.

Question 1
Describe a time when you had to interact with a difficult coworker.
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Bio-Techne in Oct 2023
Interview
Applied for an entry level research associate position, 5 min phone screen and a panel interview. Was not offered the position due to my experience not being what they wanted… However was offered to interview for a lower paying job. Went through a second panel interview (essentially the same questions) not sure why I needed to do it again. Took too long to get back to me with an offer from the moment I applied so had to accept another offer elsewhere.

Question 1
A lot of behavioral questions regarding their company culture. Asked about previous experience, why I want to work there, etc.
I was invited to one remote interview that lasted only 20 minutes, then Never heard back after. I sent some emails inquiring, but I think it’s safe to assume they went with another candidate. .
