First round was a phone call, then the second round was a face-to-face interview with two people. We started by going over my resume and then discussed general questions about my strengths, weaknesses, and career aspirations. They also asked for specific examples of my past performance in different situations.

Behavioral Technical
It was average. The questions that the interviewer asked were fair, and the questions were reasonable for anyone's work ethic. I was able to explain myself well given my situations in the workplace and the projects I have accomplished over the years not only during my high school career, but my undergrad career when obtaining my bachelor's degree in Biology.

Behavioral Technical
The interview process began with a phone call from HR, followed by an in-person interview at their La Défense office. Unfortunately, I didn't hear back after these interviews as I was not selected. I feel it would be more respectful to call candidates when they are not selected, especially after two interviews, one of which was in person and required significant professional and personal organization and preparation time. Also, when I asked about salary, I was told we would discuss it at the end of the interviews, which seems counterproductive as there's no point wasting time for both companies and candidates if the salary isn't suitable. Companies also need to understand that we work for a salary, not out of passion, when applying for a project manager role in the pharmaceutical industry.

Behavioral Technical Presentation
This whole thing has been a mess, dragging on for nearly six months. Started off okay with the hiring manager after I applied, but then went radio silent for two months. After some excuses, it picked back up with a bunch of interviews, including panels and talking to higher-ups. I talked to maybe 8-10 people in total, from different levels and departments. It was never really clear what was next or who I'd be meeting. Honestly, I'm baffled by the amount of time and effort put into this, only to get ghosted after the hiring manager promised to let me know the decision. The last contact was over a month ago via text asking for references, and then nothing.
Confirmed questions3 questions
- A few knowledge-based technical questions were asked.
- Mostly typical behavioral questions were asked.
- Due to the nature of so many different interview meetings, you end up saying the same things half a dozen times.
