I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Brightseed (San Francisco, CA) in Feb 2024
Interview
It was a fair interview. They asked about my background, my research experience during my PhD, if I had any experience using LC-MS instrumentation, targeted metabolomics, and if I had the physical capabilities to stand and function on my feet for long hours. They also questioned my jump from climate change to a research scientist.

Interview
The first call is with their recruiter. After that, you’ll have phone calls with various people in your department and then your potential manager. You come in for an in person interview where a question related to the job is answered in detail. They are very good about follow up.

I applied online. I interviewed at Brightseed (South San Francisco, CA) in July 2023
Interview
In person interviews, presentation with hypothetical questions that asked about analytical skills. Felt that this could impinge on some proprietary processes used at a previous employer. Felt like I could not give them the answer they were looking for. Also felt they did not want someone with as many years of experience (hint) as I have.
