Behavioral Technical

The interview was for a Process Engineer role in the Gene Therapy department. It was a pretty straightforward process conducted remotely via Microsoft Teams. They extended an offer without requiring any in-person visits. It was interesting because the interviewers were open to being questioned themselves on topics like conflict resolution, management, and personal interests outside of work.
