The interview process was average I would say, consisting of multiple rounds of interviews. The interviews themselves consisted of the typical interview questions anyone could expect, nothing out of the ordinary.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Lonza (Vacaville, CA) in Apr 2025
Interview
Everyone was friendly and I enjoyed my conversations with them. It hadn't even felt like an interview. Though these questions are behavioral, these questions felt genuine. I can't wait to start working for them this summer.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Lonza asked about my team projects that were listed on my resume.
There was an initial phone interview with a general recruiter. Then there was a video interview with the hiring manager. The interview was pretty straightforward. We mostly talked about my past experience and coursework. There were also a few questions about my personality.
It was good. They were very respectful and helpful throughout the entire process. I enjoyed interviewing with them. It seems to be a very professional company with respect at the forefront.
