I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at CellCarta
Interview
Had a two step process, with a phone screening and an interview with the hiring managers where they asked basic science related questions. They asked STAR questions, and overall had a well rounded process
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Have you previously worked with blood and what highest volume did you ever pipette?
The interview process at CellCarta was straightforward and comfortable, feeling more like an interactive discussion than a formal interview. The HR representative was very friendly and made communication easy, which helped create a relaxed environment. The questions were mostly based on the job role description, focusing on fundamental concepts such as flow cytometry and cryopreservation. Overall, the process was smooth, approachable, and designed to assess basic technical understanding and fit for the role rather than putting pressure on the candidate.
Typical interview questions include technical skills (e.g., lab protocols, data handling), scenario based questions (e.g., handling errors, teamwork), and behavioral topics like communication, time management, and adapting to shifting priorities.
