Horrible process with an unprofessional young lady, did not feel welcomed by staff. Owner was very rude to his employees, I heard him grunt at an employ who said hi to him, very discouraging.

Technical Behavioral

First, I had to take a 20-minute test with math, reading, matching, and writing questions. Then, I interviewed with three people: HR, the director of production, and the VP of sales. After the interview with the second person, I was given a tour of the facility. The environment seemed great and everyone was really friendly. The whole process was pretty easy and went smoothly. The people there spoke highly of the work environment and mentioned the possibility of career growth at Teknova.

The interview was pretty straightforward. I chatted with the HR manager, the production manager, and even the VP of sales. They also gave me a tour of the facility. The questions they asked were pretty standard, the kind you can easily find online for a role like this.
