I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Thermo Fisher Scientific (South San Francisco, CA) in Sept 2016
Interview
Phone screen with HR, phone screen with hiring manager, onsite interview. The problem I have is that the company refuses to reimburse my interview expenses. It has been 6 months and multiple emails to the HR coordinator. At this point they are ignoring my inquiries - they act as if the reimbursement is coming from their own pocket. It is unprofessional and shows a lack of respect for candidates and people in general. I have long admired TFS and it is unfortunate that an experience like this has changed my viewpoint on the company - I will never apply for a job here again.
I interviewed at Thermo Fisher Scientific (Hesston, PA)
Interview
Missleading, inaccurate, not realistic. promised everything and delivered nothing. Very sad I was so hopeful and happy to try and have a career there but it was a was of time and so much stress.

Question 1
Honestly dont remember but they were just S.T.A.R questions.
It was a terrible interview process. Made me do several rounds of interviews with a constant rotation of recruiters. Incredibly unprofessional with no updates for months. Only decided to close my application when I followed up. One of the interviewers was also incredibly negative about his experience at Thermofisher Scientific, often commenting, "people here aren't future-forward thinking".
This is bureaucracy at its finest, and I would recommend anyone applying to Thermofisher Scientific to have a 10-foot pole distance from them. They will make you go through a roller coaster for nothing.
Phone screen with the recruiter, then a video call, followed by an on site panel interview. The panel interview had 5 different people in 30 minute blocks, with potential coworkers and HR.
