I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Novartis (Toronto, ON)
Interview
Interview lasted less than 30 mins, I did not get an offer yet, I felt rushed and was not able to show case my experience but overall its good. I do not know if i will get the role or not
The interview process took 3 months, 3 rounds of interviews with several team members. After the 3rd round, I was starting to think they weren’t really hiring. What a waste of my time.
Teams are very knowledgeable and welcoming. Asked a lot of technical questions. Scenario based questions were decent. It was a good experience. HR also asks decent amount of questions. Prepare and stay positive throughout. Don’t be too serious when answering
