The interview is divided into three stages: 1) the first is the HR Pre-screening 2) Line Manager 1-1 was much more intense where we speak about past experiences and some scenario-based questions 3) Case study presented to the panel
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Cepheid
Interview
Talked to recruiter for 30 min and job seemed to align with my experience. Next I had a 30 min interview with the hiring manager which was awful. No way to put it nicely, the hiring manager didn't even start the call with a greeting/intro or asking about my experience. Went straight into grilling me about the company, biochemical mechanism of action of the technology and minute details of program management. Extremely aggressive and patronizing. Can't imagine they do well in their program teams leading projects, horrible people skills.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
