It was a 3 round interview process. First was an HR phone screening, second a hiring manager phone interview, and third an on-campus interview that lasted all afternoon with the manager and senior engineers.
The interview process was super professional and went really smoothly. I heard back within a week after my first virtual interview with an HR Partner and the Global Head for MS&T. Alcon was really accommodating with my schedule, arranging transportation and accommodation for me to visit their HQ. The second interview involved meeting with four different company leaders, a tour of the facilities, and lunch. The whole thing lasted about 6 hours. I was impressed with how they treated me, their professionalism, and their clear dedication to the company's mission.
Phone screen and then in person interview. There were two rounds of in person panel interviews, so it's a pretty standard interview process. If you want to be prepared for what's to come, study behavioral interview questions.
