I applied online. I interviewed at Bio-Techne (Saint Paul, MN) in Aug 2017
Interview
I applied online and about a week and a half later I was contacted to schedule an interview. Although I filled out all the forms about my experience and background it didn't seem as though that was passed in to my interviewers in advance of me meeting them because they spent a lot of time explaining techniques that I describe myself as familiar with in my resume and in the materials I provided to HR. Once I gave them a copy of my resume we were able to have a more in depth discussion about my experience and how it would relate to the position I was interviewing for. Very few behavioral questions were asked which I thought was surprising. After the interview we took a tour of the facility.

Interview
Interview felt a bit stiff with the managers mainly reading prepared questions from a packet. Other than that, it was pretty pleasant and the lab tour was helpful. It would have been a bit less awkward if there were fewer prescribed questions.

I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Bio-Techne in Oct 2023
Interview
Applied for an entry level research associate position, 5 min phone screen and a panel interview. Was not offered the position due to my experience not being what they wanted… However was offered to interview for a lower paying job. Went through a second panel interview (essentially the same questions) not sure why I needed to do it again. Took too long to get back to me with an offer from the moment I applied so had to accept another offer elsewhere.

Question 1
A lot of behavioral questions regarding their company culture. Asked about previous experience, why I want to work there, etc.
I was invited to one remote interview that lasted only 20 minutes, then Never heard back after. I sent some emails inquiring, but I think it’s safe to assume they went with another candidate. .
