      Research Specialist Interview

      Jul 26, 2025
      Anonymous employee
      Maplewood, MN
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at 3M (Maplewood, MN) in Jun 2025

      Interview

      1. Phone screen with recruiter. 2. Video interview with hiring manager. 3. Video interview with project lead. 4. All day on-site interview. Fairly standard interview process. The all day on-site began with me giving a presentation on my background and expertise. This was followed by around 7 or 8 one-on-one interviews with people of varying seniority on the team. What really made an impression on me was that 3M flew me out to MN and went out of their way to demonstrate that I was their top choice for the position. This approach is unusual in the present market, and that made this treatment stand out even more. Pretty much every other company I interviewed with during this job search made me feel small and sad. 3M made me feel wanted.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      It was pretty much entirely conversational discussion about my experience and interests and skills.
