My experience was positive overall. They briefly described what my role in the company would consist of and the training hours that followed. Then I asked a few questions regarding the lab tech training process. Following that, the interview began.

I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Bayer in Jun 2022

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.

Question 1
Most of the questions were about past situations and how I had handled them. "Tell me a time when you worked together with a team to solve a problem." "Tell me about a time things went wrong and what you did to navigate the situation."
Very professional and polite interviewers who focused on behavioral questions rather than overly technical questions. Allowed a lot of time for the interviewee to ask questions about their experiences and the company.
