I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2+ months. I interviewed at Thermo Fisher Scientific (Heysham, England) in Sept 2017
Interview
Incredibly poor interview. Every answer was left unfinalised as redirected to be about the interviewer on every question. Smarm and ego aside, the HR representative was content to play no more of a role than a nodding dog. The interviewer was gradually informing me of his roles and skills throughout the excruciating process, supply chain, a mentor for 4 years of blah blah! If you go to Heysham, prepare to cringe, hold up a mirror for the guy then dust!
I need you to breakdown a confidential workforce figure and give me a tangible percentage of government workers sick absence figures otherwise I cannot compute
A comprehensive and interactive process that allows both of us to gain a thorough understanding of each other. The whole process is very professional, but the working load sounds intensive.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Can you describe your approach to managing employee relations and resolving conflicts?
Recruiter was nice and proactive, would move fast and asked to clear calendar right away then wouldn't hear back for a while. Did feel like they were transparent about the process to a point.
The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Thermo Fisher Scientific
Interview
Process was very long with too many people. A few interviewers were no shows during scheduled times. Had high hopes with this company - very disappointing / I wouldn’t recommend.
