I applied online. I interviewed at Covidien (Saint Louis, MO)
Interview
Panel interview that consisted of technical fellows, other bosses and teammates. Applied online and was contacted one month later. First there was a phone interview with an HR representative who asked questions about my resume and history. I was asked to come in for a panel interview at the end of the phone interview. After the interviewing, I was offered the position on the next week.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Asked many questions on troubleshooting HPLC. Mass spec experience was a plus.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at Covidien (Mansfield, MA) in Jul 2012
Interview
The interview process was comprehensive and informative. Each interviewer was prepared with behavioral questions and I was comfortable through the entire process. I met with so many good people that I walked out knowing I wanted to work there. The process took longer than other experiences I've had, but it was worth it in the end to get the job.

Question 1
None of the questions were particularly difficult. They were concerned with my background and experience. No "curveballs."
