First-hand accounts from people who interviewed at Pfizer.
Graduate Student
The interview process was great. They really focus on your personality and are very open and optimistic. They want to see if you're a good fit for the team, so you have to put your best foot forward and act with ethics.

Graduate Program
First, I got an email with a questionnaire to fill out, asking things like 'what do you know about Pfizer?' Right after, I also got a personality survey. I mostly picked logical answers. The next day, I got an invite for a supervised psychologic assessment, which had lots of practice questions available online and was pretty easy. On the same day I finished that, I was emailed about a group exercise where I had to pick a time slot. For that, I'd suggest taking the lead, maybe by introducing yourself first or offering to be the timekeeper. Make sure to share your opinions a few times, react to others, and be memorable, a leader, and responsive. About two weeks later, HR called me to set up a 1-hour panel interview with the hiring managers. Even though I haven't gotten a rejection, I'm assuming I didn't get it because HR has been radio silent for five weeks, ignoring my follow-up email even though the hiring managers said a decision would be made in two weeks. It's unprofessional, but I've already accepted another graduate program offer.

Graduate Programme
About 2 weeks after applying, Pfizer got in touch. They sent me an online supervised assessment with 3 sections, each lasting 9 minutes. There were practice questions beforehand. Section 1 was numerical reasoning, involving calculations and graph interpretation. No calculator was allowed, but the math wasn't too hard. I could use paper and pen. Section 2 was verbal reasoning, with 4 short paragraphs and questions asking if a statement was true, false, or couldn't be determined. The final section involved diagrams, where I had to match a given example to the most logically similar option from a set. Alongside the assessment, I had to complete two questionnaires within 48 hours of getting the email. Each took about 15-20 minutes. The first was a workplace behavior questionnaire, presenting scenarios where I had to pick my two most likely reactions. The second was a personality assessment, with paired choices where I selected my preference.
