I applied online. The process took 8 weeks. I interviewed at Thermo Fisher Scientific (Pittsburgh, PA) in May 2014
Interview
I applied online - was called by their recruiter several weeks later, who asked a few general background questions. Set up an interview for two weeks later. I arrived at the interview, and was shuffled between several 'managers' who didn't actually seem interested in interviewing me for the position. One of them left me alone for 20 minutes, and another left me with a clerical worker and a custodian for a half hour. It was a total waste of time and gas money.

I interviewed at Thermo Fisher Scientific (Greenville, NC)
Interview
The interview process is very interpersonal, the interviewers are looking to see what type of person you are versus your qualifications. Of course the requirements will be a part of conversation.
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Thermo Fisher Scientific (Cranbury, NJ) in Jan 2024
Interview
Brief interview over the phone and then the video call two weeks after. The process was not too bad, but the interview questions were very technical. The questions were mostly from resume and their required techniques on the job description.
