It was a good interview, and the way they asked questions was interesting. I think they're genuinely looking for recent graduates with no experience because they want to hire quality candidates. However, if you have significant experience, you could easily go work for a pharma/etc. company and get paid much more.

They asked if I was okay with working/standing for long hours and if I was comfortable with biohazard exposure. They also checked if the shift hours worked with my availability. Then, they asked a couple of basic behavioral questions like 'give me an example of when you worked in a team' and inquired about my relevant lab experience from school, specifically mentioning working with pipettes and equipment.

After you're hired, we actually bring in a psychologist to go over your test results with you and help coach you on how to leverage your strengths, especially for leadership positions, to keep growing.
