Casual but well organized. Had a phone interview with HR followed by a call with hiring manager in 2 weeks followed by on site interview. Overall, got a startup vibe besides the acquisition and generic questions were asked.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Biocontrol Systems (Bellevue, WA)
Interview
The interview process was very scattered and disorganized. The HR manager was friendly but extremely disorganized. She missed a few emails and forgot to send me some time critical forms. There was something definitely off with the company. A bunch of red flags. I was certain I was going to get the position after all the interviews. But, after arriving to my 3rd face-to-face interview 30 minutes late with the CEO obviously didn't help my application. I didn't hear back from the HR manager on the status (happened often), so I followed up and she stated that I did not get the position. I asked for some feedback and what I could do better - didn't hear back from that either (expected). In general, I am thankful I didn't get the position a better opportunity came through. There is definitely something up with the company culture though...probably management and obviously HR.

Question 1
General background, experience and product management were asked. Nothing too specific.
I applied through a staffing agency. I interviewed at Biocontrol Systems
Interview
Met with 3 people. HR manager, operations manager and supervisor. Each were very easy to talk to. The questions were pretty standard HR questions and they knew it. They liked that I asked to be shown around the lab space.
