I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Thermo Fisher Scientific (San Francisco, CA) in Mar 2017
Interview
It was quite simple, they made me talk about my previous work and asked me a few simple technical questions. They wanted to know if your basics are strong and you are up to date on your technical knowledge. They also asked all the basic interview questions, and sometimes prefer if you don't give them the practiced answers.
