Candidate interview experiences
First-hand accounts from people who interviewed at Charles River Laboratories.
Project Manager
The interview process had a screening interview, then one with the hiring manager, and then a final panel interview. The panel was split into two sessions due to time zone issues, but it's usually just one round. The recruiter was really knowledgeable, and scheduling with the recruiting team was easy.
- What kind of work culture do you seek?
- Can you share your previous experience with complex projects?
Project Manager
It was just a list of questions to answer, and the conversation felt impersonal, which made it hard to create a comfortable atmosphere. They didn't seem interested in me as a person, as they only asked the questions on the list and didn't ask anything else. They also weren't interested in providing any feedback.
- Do you believe you can effectively handle stressful situations, and if so, how would you manage them?
Project Manager
It's pretty straightforward. You get a call to confirm if you're still interested. Then, you set a date and time. The first round is with HR, followed by technical, the hiring manager, the project team, and finally a senior leader.
- Can you start by telling us about yourself?
- Tell me about a successful project you managed.
- Can you share an example of a project failure and what you learned?
