It was a multi-stage interview. First, I met with the sales lead, then with the broader team, and finally with some technical staff. Everyone was really nice, but they did express some worries about the work ethic within the larger organization.

easy application via their online system, needed CV, motivation letter and job info. Salary expectation was requested. Took about a month to get a response, even for a rejection.

Behavioral Other

I had an unprofessional and chaotic interview process. A recruiter contacted me on LinkedIn, and I felt he wasted my time and was rude and unqualified. Despite the first recruiter being unprofessional, I went through with two more interviews. I received an automated rejection and no direct communication from the hiring manager about not getting an offer. I suspect they misused my information. I wouldn't recommend this company.

Quoted word for word from Lonza interview reports.

They asked me "what's 50x50?" which was completely irrelevant.
