I interviewed at Thermo Fisher Scientific (Whitby, ON)
Interview
Easy and fast. There were two rounds where firstly recruiter contacts you and then arrange the meeting with Managers where they asked technical and situational questions. Then called me after few days for job offer. After that took one month to join due to background check and all

I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Thermo Fisher Scientific
Interview
Very rushed experience with terrible communication, both from the hiring manager and the recruiter - wasn't given a chance to meet with other team members/collaborators, despite asking. Terrible offer and benefits (below market base salary, 1 year for 401k match to kick in, no equity). Would NOT recommend.
