Met with 5 important people and the hiring manager. Mostly asked about different parts of the nn ways. People were nice but questions were hard sometimes. Important to back up answers with real examples.

Behavioral Technical Presentation

After an initial recruiter call, I had interviews with a panel of team members about two weeks later. They asked a lot of questions, many of which felt redundant and like standard interview fare. By the third interviewer, it felt almost robotic. The recruiter said they'd follow up after the interviews to discuss how they went, but that never happened. They didn't even reply to my email asking for the interviewers' contact info to send a thank you note. The recruiter ghosted me. Overall, the performance from these employees was really poor. Novo Nordisk, you can do so much better.

Behavioral Technical

I applied for three jobs at NN and had a quick HR screen for each. One job, I never heard back about. For the second, a 30-minute hiring manager screen was set up, but I got rejected a few weeks later. The third job involved an in-person interview at their NJ site with the hiring manager and two others. The hiring manager said HR would follow up within a week. When they didn't, I emailed HR for an update, but got no response and no rejection either. The job was posted again about two weeks after my interview. The whole process felt disorganized and it was disappointing that NN HR didn't even let me know, especially since I drove 2 hours each way for the interview. I guess in this job market, companies have the upper hand and don't care about candidate experience, but it will hurt their reputation.
