I applied online. I interviewed at Leica Biosystems (Buffalo Grove, IL) in Jan 2020
Interview
Pretty in depth interview process with five manager and above interviewers. They have their own interview matrix of questions aligning to different company values. Timing was a bit awkward with a lunch by myself (that they generously provided) in between interviews.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Basic interview questions, follow up questions to each question:
* What have you learned from that experience?
* What would you have done differently?
* How have you changed from that experience?
Worst Worst Worst !!! Everything happens at goddamn snails pace here. Its like they are living in the 5th Century trying to discover tools made of stones. They flash exotic job descriptions and when you do your research you will know that you are doing nothing but admin/security/facility activities as a manager.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Leica Biosystems (Bengaluru)
Interview
4 rounds of interview. 1st round was telephonic. Nicely conducted and very relevant questions. 2 round was Skype interview from Australia but had to attend from their office. Good 2 hours discussion. Asked about my past experiences ,present and my future goals. One of the best interviews I have till date. Then began the nightmare. Received a never ending questionnaire (LDW) which almost took 5 6 hours to fill and most of the questions were already asked in previous round of interviews. Couple of days after filing this got a call from the recruiting agency that one final round with India director was there. I reached on time and interview started almost on time.I answered all his questions and I hoped I will get through. But then he did not select me for reasons known only to him.
