Interview
I applied for an Engineer I position in the Life Cycle Department of EB. The process took a few months from application to interview. I received a call to come in for an interview and they paid for my travel to CT. I went to the facility in the morning. The day started with a quick entrance interview with the HR representative. This was really just to go through my application and make sure everything was correct and up to date. After this I went to my interview with the people from the department. I interviewed with 3 current supervisors at the same time. Overall the interview wasn't that difficult for me, but definitely had the potential to be hard. They really just talked to me about my resume and my experience, but didn't ask any actually questions that allowed me to demonstrate my abilities. I needed to be able to show that I was right for the job in normal candid conversation. The interviewers were very nice, which made this a lot easier and I could tell that they liked my experience from the beginning. After my interview, I had an exit interview with the HR Rep. again at which point she offered me the position and I accepted.

At a general hiring event, they paired me with different engineers hiring for their respective teams.

Your individual experience will vary based on the team you are placed to interview for, as well as whoever is interviewing you.
