Behavioral Technical

It was a very chill, friendly chat. I met with two nice guys who asked me standard action-interview questions. Then we went over my resume, and they asked some technical stuff to get a better sense of my experience. We finished with an open Q&A where I could ask about anything – the job, the company, the vibe, the schedule, all that. Overall, I thought it went well.

I had a panel interview with some lab techs and supervisors who all seemed happy in their jobs. They asked about my 5-year plan. I didn't get to see other parts of the facility. The job is M-F dayshift. They are looking for people to stay with the company long-term and grow with them.
