Candidate-reported interview process
Had a 45-minute chat with HR and then another 45 minutes with the hiring managers. It was a pretty standard setup: intro, interview questions, and then time for my questions. The vibe was good and the questions were pretty normal. At the end, I spoke with three managers all at once. It felt a little intimidating at first, but overall it was a nice conversation.
It's a business case presented to different directors at Novartis and Alcon, where you develop to make your business skills clear. Hiring was immediate and the treatment was very good.
I applied online and went to a recruiting event on campus. There, I met a recruiter and we talked about my interest in the company. Within a month, I had a phone interview. That same day, I was told I was moving on to a video interview.
