I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Bio-Techne (Minneapolis, MN) in Nov 2017
Interview
I applied online and received an invitation to interview by email 4+ weeks later.
The interview process was overall very easy. It consisted of meeting 3 different groups/people for the interview. My first set of interview were with two directors/the hiring managers. They had a list of questions prepared that really asked about my experiences, lab work, school work, and just basic personality fit questions. Very eager to know more about my skill sets, as well as myself as an individual.
The second part of the interview was with the team itself. I was given a brief tour of my work space and then met with my team. They did not have questions prepared, but asked more about my skill sets, long-term goals, and personality questions. I think they were more interested in making sure they found a good fit to the team because they all seemed very close and comfortable with each other.
The last part of my interview was with the HR recruiter. This part was making sure that I had all of the necessary background checks and paperwork filled out, as well as any last logistical questions. Overall, I really enjoyed the interview. I walked in with a lot of questions and walked out very comfortable and hopeful to getting the job!
I was told that I would hear back in 2+ weeks, but received an offer a week later.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
This question was not part of the list that they had prepared. What are your favorite courses (undergraduate) and why? How do you think they relate to this position?

Interview
Interview felt a bit stiff with the managers mainly reading prepared questions from a packet. Other than that, it was pretty pleasant and the lab tour was helpful. It would have been a bit less awkward if there were fewer prescribed questions.

I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Bio-Techne in Oct 2023
Interview
Applied for an entry level research associate position, 5 min phone screen and a panel interview. Was not offered the position due to my experience not being what they wanted… However was offered to interview for a lower paying job. Went through a second panel interview (essentially the same questions) not sure why I needed to do it again. Took too long to get back to me with an offer from the moment I applied so had to accept another offer elsewhere.

Question 1
A lot of behavioral questions regarding their company culture. Asked about previous experience, why I want to work there, etc.
I was invited to one remote interview that lasted only 20 minutes, then Never heard back after. I sent some emails inquiring, but I think it’s safe to assume they went with another candidate. .
