I interviewed at Benchling
Interview
Multiple rounds: first meeting with recruitment team, then doing a case study with "Client" (team member) and a presentation of a scientific topic. Finally meeting with team and direct leadership
It's a lengthy process, with 4 main interview steps (sometimes the last one can be split into two) - including 2 presentations. Material was provided to guide in preparation. All interviewers were very nice and made you feel at ease.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Benchling (Boston, MA) in May 2021
Interview
The interview process is really involved, with multiple rounds spanning a few weeks. But it’s well designed, giving you a chance to show your soft-skill potential instead of just relying on your resume.
