Behavioral Technical Presentation
The interview process was a bit unusual. I first met with the operations manager and we had a good chat. He asked about my personal interests and history going way back, which I thought was a little strange and not really related to the job or my experience. Then I met with the operations team. They came up with questions, but I ended up being asked the same things by different people. Some of the questions made me wonder if they'd even looked at my resume, given my 6+ years in BioTech Manufacturing. One person asked if I knew how to use a pipette and record lot numbers, which was funny but also showed I was probably overqualified. When I talked to the manager again, we discussed salary, and they couldn't meet my expectations. I got it, because the role seemed more suited for a Lab Associate or someone just out of school. The facility was nice, and the tour showing upcoming changes was interesting. Honestly, the disconnect between my background and the role was disappointing. One manager asked me to demonstrate measuring water from a bottle to a cylinder and then pipetting it into tubes. I figured he was checking if I could work in a sterile setting and how I'd handle contamination risks. It was awkward and kind of comical. I told the hiring manager I felt overqualified, and he agreed they couldn't meet my salary needs. Interestingly, other managers from R&D reached out about different roles, but I ignored them because this interview left a bad impression.

Behavioral Technical Presentation
It began with a phone call, and then I proceeded to an onsite interview. It was a bit of a lengthy interview, but the positive aspect was that I got to meet the people I'd be working with and could ask questions of my potential future co-workers. Part of that time also included an in-depth site tour. The time actually went by faster than I anticipated since each interview block was about half an hour.

Had some standard questions, some thought-provoking questions. You should know the company, what they do. If you haven't done a technique before, understand what it is before interviewing! Study up, and ask yourself if its really something you'll be passionate about. Otherwise, you're just cheating yourself and others.

It started with a quick phone chat, then an in-person interview. I knew it was a panel interview, but they didn't give me a schedule or tell me how long it would be. It turned out to be 3 separate panels, one after another, lasting over 3 hours. At the very end, they mentioned they weren't even sure if they would hire anyone that quarter.
