I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Seqgen
Interview
Got a phone interview after I applied. Most of the questions were not too difficult, they more focus on what hand on experience you got and your personality.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What Hands-on experience in both “engineering field” and “daily life” that you have?
I applied in-person. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Seqgen (Torrance, CA) in Jan 2015
Interview
Had 2 phone interviews prior to the on site interview. First phone with service manager, 2nd with general manager. Mostly nothing too technical but more of a personality filter. The on site interview includes a basic hands on operation of tools, nothing critical.
