Candidate-reported interview process

The first step was a recruiter call to set things up. Then, I had an interview with one of the managing directors, which was about an hour long and pretty straightforward. We chatted about my past work experience, my skills, and my general qualifications.

They asked chemistry specific questions related to the job position. The questions were basic but hard if you haven't been in school for a while. Brush up on basic QC Chemistry.

The interview was short, and I met with a panel of managers. They were nice and didn't make me feel nervous.
