The interview process was set up quickly, but after it was done, I didn't hear back from the recruiting team. I followed up by emailing my contact multiple times over two weeks and also emailed the NA recruiter email, but still no reply. MilliporeSigma should think about hiring recruiters who are better at following up, because this lack of communication isn't typical with other companies after interviews.

I sent in my resume and cover letter after someone recommended me internally. The interview process started with a 10-minute phone chat. After that, I had two in-person interviews. The first was with two supervisors, and the second was with two people I would be working with. They also gave me a quick tour of the place.

Research

Entry Average Positive experience Decline offer

There are studies that suggest interviewers prefer to conduct unstructured interviews. But, a larger number of studies have found that experienced or trained interviewers view structured interviews positively. One study indicates that interviewers’ perceptions of structured interviews depend on their cognitive style (analytical vs intuitive). As expected, interviewers who are more analytical favor structured interviews. The same study mentions that people can be trained to use “different cognitive approaches in specific and short-term situations.
