      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Lonza

      Interview

      I was contacted by their internal recruiter and quickly scheduled a phone call. Said recruiter did not show up for our call. Nor did they reply to my E-mail asking to reschedule....you know, since they didn't show up. They never responded. I had to E-mail again and finally heard back about rescheduling (mind you, no apologizes for missing the first call). Recruiter call was standard and I ended up getting a second interview. I should have taken the recruiter's behavior as a red flag. The interview with the hiring manager was awful. The interviewer was incredibly rude. The entire interview felt like they were assuming I was lying on my resume and wanted me to prove that I was not. I am not talking about "tell us what you did during X process". I am talking about "Tell me the 4th step in this specific process". It was very clear that this person felt this process was a waste of their time and did not respect their fellow humans. Not surprisingly, I was ghosted after this. Super professional. I ended up getting a job elsewhere and never looked back.

      Application

      I interviewed at Lonza (Visp)

      Interview

      It is al online and automated. I had to send all of my papers but it was all not too bad, just CV and motivation letter. I got a negative answer a few days later. I have applied to a few other positions and get a very fast rejection. At least their system is efficient .

      Applied online, after 2 weeks got a screening phone call with HR, then 2 weeks after that got an interview in person. Position still available online now 3 weeks and counting, after the interview. never heard back, followed up, no response. Really unprofessional experience to ghost candidates like that.
