I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Thermo Fisher Scientific in Sept 2025
Interview
Professional, until it wasn't.
Background: applied to a Technical Sales Specialist for a CapEx product in their suite of instruments WITH AN INTERNAL REFERRAL.
Process: talent management screening phone call and interview with hiring manager (HM) was easy, timely, and done without any drama. Interviewed with 2 additional supervisors that work closely with the HM.
Followed up a week later after last interview for feedback. No response.
Followed up again 1.5 weeks later. No response.
Reached out to talent manager for clarification, said they are meeting with HM soon and will update me.
2 weeks after interview STILL no response.
If I didn't get the offer, just tell me. It's being professional and communicating your decision without ghosting an internal referral candidate.
Why work for a company that can't bother to write up an email that takes 5 minutes?

Question 1
"Tell me about your sales experience"
"How do you go about breaking into accounts?"
"What's your cadence for outreach?"
I interviewed at Thermo Fisher Scientific (Rodano)
Interview
Il processo di selezione è stato molto lungo, quasi 3 mesi. Ho incontrato persone molto professionali con cui è stato un piacere condividere le proprie idee, purtroppo non posso dire lo stesso per il recruited che mi lasciato praticamente senza nessuno aggiornamento tra uno step e l'altro.

Question 1
Visione del mercato di riferimento, azioni che intraprenderesti, piano a 30/60/90 giorni
lengthy. multiple rounds. it feels unnecessary. I feel that the decision has been made at the very beginning but the lengthy interview was kept on for a long time or no reasons. it was emotionally exhausting for me.
