I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Thermo Fisher Scientific (Winnipeg, MB) in July 2013
Interview
I was interviewed by HR as initial screening. It went well, and on to next stage which was the hiring manager as well as his manager. It went almost 2 hours in length. I was told would hear back within week and a half to two weeks. 2 weeks passed and I sent an email to HR - no response after a week. Then I sent a follow up email to hiring manager - no response. Now its been over 2 months and never heard a peep out of anyone. Another week passed and noticed a local recruiter is trying to recruit new candidates.
I have been working and interviewing for 20 years and never have been treated so rudely! All it takes is a quick email saying they found a more qualified candidate. No big deal! Why leave candidates hanging? Totally turned off by this companies hiring practices. Think twice about them. As their hiring/interview practices are so poor I would seriously wonder what the corporate culture and management style is like.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
the second interview consisted of a 90 minute resume review with asking for former manager names and what they would say about my strengths and weaknesses. Not fun as would much prefer behavioral questions.

The interviewer was not so nice. Was very anti international people and was specific about if you live in germany you should know german (be fluent). So we ended the interview 30 mins earlier
