The interview was about 30 minutes long and covered some basic personality questions along with a few simple chemistry concepts. The interviewer seemed to be going through a checklist and didn't offer much feedback on my answers.

Behavioral Technical Coding Presentation
The process was long and the interviewer asked a lot of repetitive and unclear questions. There were about 1.5 hours of just "tell me about a time when..." questions. They also threw in a pop quiz on math and chemistry basics that wasn't mentioned beforehand, so be ready for that. They did offer a tour of the facilities after the interview.
Confirmed questions1 question
- How would you handle a situation where a coworker is performing steps of a test out of order or incorrectly?

Technical Coding
The interview process started with a 30-minute phone interview where they asked Microbiology questions. This was followed by a 2-hour in-person interview with 4-5 people, which included a short math quiz. I was extended an offer, but it was revoked when I expressed a desire for some pre-scheduled days off from overtime for personal appointments and family time, despite the standard schedule being 8-5 (45 hours/week) with overtime expected at any time, and no clear time off on weekends or after 5 PM. The offer letter also included a clause requiring me to sign an agreement not to post negative reviews about the company online. The company doesn't reveal these details upfront, only after you've gone through the phone interview, waited, completed the in-person interview, had references submitted, and waited another week for the offer.
