I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Thermo Fisher Scientific (Hillsboro, OR) in Feb 2018
Interview
Inept HR person. I always state my current salary so as to avoid any large misunderstandings. She didn't listen or want to hear or was unable to record that important point. Went through (9) interviews - 5 were face to face and with hiring VP. Only to be told "salary is an issue." Its either convenient for them or they're just that poor in their process. ThermoFisher has a 5 "i" mantra - Integrity/Innovation/Involvement/Intensity - to which I would add Insolence.
I interviewed at Thermo Fisher Scientific (Manila, Manila)
Interview
All interviewers were very well prepared, and it's evident how proud they are of working for this Company. Its mission was mentioned several times during the interview, as well as their values

Question 1
Situational examples of my experience, problems faced, and how I managed to resolve them
I interviewed at Thermo Fisher Scientific (Glasgow, Scotland)
Interview
The interview process involved two stages with both the hiring manager and the department head. They lasted 45 mins each and were centred around competency based questions. Eight weeks after the final interview I asked for feedback and was told it was moving to offer stage. The HR contact then told me that the funding for the role had been reduced and offered 20% less than was initially advertised. I declined the role.

Question 1
Can you tell me about a time when you've had to train staff on a technically complex area?
I thought for certain I would be hired for the position given my qualifications and recommendation from a current employee. They kept me around until the final round as a token Black woman, but ultimately I was not hired. Apparently they hired a White man, no surprise.
