Half hour blocks with four different people, sometimes more than one person. Depending on department: mammalian will be round robin / cell therapy will be 1:1 as if right now. confidence and excitement to learn will get you far.
The interview was fairly easy and consisted of 3, 15 minute sections of question with one person, followed by another 15 minute section with someone else, and same process again.

Interview
Meant to have 3 interviews (1 phone, 1 video, 1 in-person) but I only had the phone and in-person interviews. Very straight forward questions regarding familiarity with the processes and experience with cGMP.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What would you do if an associate wasnt following the sop?
Simple and easy, don't be an idiot and honetly just try to connect on a human level and you are more than qualified. They are simply looking toi a highly reliable person to crunch numbers and if you're a numbers person this is a perfect fit for you. Imagine a school lab mixed with lego instructions if you can do that and properly handle very dangerous chemicals in a clean room you'll do fine.
