Case Technical
The interview involved a case study focused on entering the market with a specific cancer drug. It was challenging due to numerous inclusion and exclusion criteria, and required significant mental arithmetic. Despite the complexity, the interviewer provided helpful guidance. The interviewer was very pleasant and approachable.
