I interviewed with Senior Researcher as well as Technical Manager. After a successful interview with them I interviewed with HR. They did a background check and also checked my references. You then go for a drug test. Make sure you know everything on your resume, cause you will be questioned about it. If you dont remember anything about your internship in organic chemistry don't put it on there (or at least brush up on it) as you might be asked to draw a structure or two. All depends on what is on your resume, so be sure you know it.
They were very polite, asked if I had any questions (which I did) and also showed me around the lab facility where I would be working.
Received a phone interview, followed by on site a week later. Lasted 2 hours, talked with HR, hiring manager, and upper management. HR rep and hiring manager was friendly, seemed like an ok place to work. Good development opportunities. Received an offer within the day.
