Submitted my application (resume and cover letter required) on a Thursday night. I received a phone call from a recruiter to set up an interview by Friday afternoon. My interview was the following Tuesday. Five 30 minute one-on-one interviews with several departments represented (HR, lab manager, quality manager, r&d). Basic interview questions mainly. A couple questions asking about experience with job duties found in the job description. I was also asked my long term living aspirations (I.e. do I see myself staying in the area to feel the waters to see if I foresee having a career there). I was also given many opportunities to ask about the work environment and I was given a brief window tour of the plant. Three days later I got a phone call from a recruiter (different than the first) to schedule a one hour one-on-one interview with the supervisor the job would be reporting to. This interview took place a week later. He asked the same questions as the previous interviewers. He also answered job specific questions I had about the position. Overall I had a pretty solid experience with the interview process. The first recruiter called and offered me the position about an hour after that second interview. It was a total of 15 days between submitting an application and receiving the offer. The proposed start date was about a month after the offer. However, the third party company MilliporeSigma utilizes to before the background check, drug screening, and credentials check was miserable to deal with and I honestly wasn’t sure I was going to start on time, but in the end did.

First interview was phone screening, second was with a HR again, third was with lead engineer and last was with hiring manager. Interview went good and I answered all the questions. Asked questions were lot easier.
