Candidate interview experiences
First-hand accounts from people who interviewed at Curia.
Senior Scientist
It was really nice interacting with the site head, different scientists from other departments like analytical, quality control, and quality analysis. Before this, the interview with HR and the hiring manager went well.
- Can you describe your background?
- What are your strengths in research?
Chemist
Had a 15 min group interview with four people. They were dressed casual and sitting around a table. Only one of them had chemistry experience. The interview quickly changed from being about a chemist role to a different position. I was told I could get promoted to chemist in a few months if I took a lower position as a compounder, which mostly involved cleaning floors and parts.
- Describe how you manage conflicts with coworkers.
Chemist
The interview process involved an initial conversation with HR that focused mainly on background information. This was followed by a second interview lasting about an hour with three people, including managers and a supervisor, where the discussion centered on technical and behavioral questions.
- Could you describe the instruments you've utilized in prior roles and your calibration methods?
- How would you handle workplace conflicts with colleagues?
