Applied online, got an email the same day about setting up a phone screening with the company that starts the hiring process for them. The call mainly covered estimate of desired salary, what interactions with non-lab animals I may have, relocation or not, and things along that line. Was told my information would then be passed on to HR and heard nothing after that.
I applied online. I interviewed at Charles River Laboratories (Boston, MA) in Feb 2026
Interview
Very easy and intuitive - common interview questions about work history and ability to deal with workplace difficulty, as well as strong questioning about ability to work properly with animals.

I applied online. I interviewed at Charles River Laboratories (Stone Ridge, NY) in Jun 2024
Interview
Just a phone call curious about roll. Was informed of some possible issues for employees. Hoped to see if it’s as bad as it sounds or if it’s worth it.
I interviewed at Charles River Laboratories (Irvine, CA)
Interview
Very friendly. Generic questions. Spent most of the interview talking about the company. Admittedly said there is no room for growth unless you commute to another city 40 miles away.
