I was initially contacted by a third party recruiter. The company caught my attention. The position, pay and benefits seem to be a good fit for me.
Until my then-present company promoted me and gave me a pay raise.
A week later, I had a face to face interview with the hiring managers. I wanted to hear what they can offer me as I could have brought a lot to the table. The couldn't as I had disclosed my recent promotion and pay raise. It seemed to all of us that the position would have been a step back for me.
Candidatei-me por meio de recrutador(a). O processo levou 6 semanas. Fui entrevistado pela Tosoh America em mai. de 2021
Entrevista
1. Screening with a recruitment agency;
2. Interview with HR (simple experience verification and biographical questions);
3. Interview with Hiring Manager (biographical, technical and competency questions);
4. Meeting with the Product Management and Marketing Team. 20-minute mock sales presentation and Q&A.
Overall, an easy and straightforward process. Not many challenging/situational questions. The interviewing team was very supportive along the way.
The preparation for the interviews/presentation took over 20 hours - plan ahead as you need to research the company's unique products, applications, put together nice slides.
The most disappointing was the lack of any feedback or even a courtesy call/message from the Tosoh Bioscience Hiring Manager after a long preparation and making it to the final round of interviews.

Entrevista
It was a phone interview and they tested both technical and HR related stuff. They kindly introduced themselves and started with the generic question "tell us about yourself". After that they went over my resume and asked how much experience I have and what I specifically did with those techniques. Additionally, they asked questions how I work independently in the past. Overall, it was a pleasant phone interview and they told me that they would let me know if they decide to invite me for an on-site interview.
