I applied and within a week I was asked to do an interview. The interview fell into a strict 30 minute window between applicants. It was an informal face to face interview with questions about my previous work experience and how I interact with a team. There were no technical questions. The majority of the interview was the manager explaining how the laboratory functions and determining whether I would be a good fit.

Bayer offered to do a phone interview about a week after I submit my application through a recruiting agency. The interview only took around 15 minutes. Despite feeling poorly about how the interview went, I received an offer later that day.
