The hiring process was really fast. First, I had a phone interview, then an onsite interview where I met with about 4-5 people. After that, I had a follow-up interview with HR. The background check and drug test took about 2-3 weeks to complete.

It was a recruiter call first, then 3 in person interviews with the hiring manager, then a phone interview with a remote staff member, and also in person interviews with peers and the hiring manager's supervisor. All interviews were professional and well prepared. They focused a lot on my skills instead of what the company does. The work environment seemed a bit stiff and boring.

I interviewed with Elan in July. The interview process was good and everyone was very nice. I met more than 10 people, including several directors, managers, and even a VP. I also had dinner with two directors and some group members. It was tiring but a good experience overall, though I didn't receive an offer.

It was a 3 part process, video, phone, in person. I was early and the rep was late. I didn't go in for the inperson interview.
