Candidate-reported interview process
They called me for an initial screening, which was pretty basic and not in-depth. They asked how I heard about Alcon, why I was interested in working with them, and who I spoke to at the Career Fair. After that, they sent an email to apply for job listings. It was a good conversation if you're up for it.
I applied online and then an HR person got in touch for an interview. It was pretty chill, and they asked stuff like why I'm interested in this company. After that, I interviewed with the Engineering Director, who asked about my background and experience.
It had four rounds and all the process went on well. They were friendly and described the job very well
