Case Behavioral
The interview process involved two main parts: a case study and a personal fit interview, conducted by a senior member of the team. The case study focused on market sizing within the pharmaceutical sector, requiring the candidate to lead the analysis, for example, estimating the market for a specific drug like one for hayfever.

Behavioral
So basically I got this email asking me to answer some interview questions, like 8 of them, on this online platform. I had like 30 seconds to think and then about a minute to record my answer, video and audio. I sent two emails to the recruiter during this, but they never replied. This was in October and it's January now, still no response or even an email saying thanks but no thanks.

Technical Case Behavioral
The interview process consisted of two rounds. The first was a one-hour offline paper test focusing on quantitative skills, with no calculators or electronic devices permitted. The second round was a 45-minute in-person interview that included both a fit interview and a case interview. The case interview specifically involved a market sizing problem. I am still awaiting the results.
