Candidatei-me online. Fiz uma entrevista na empresa Novartis.
Entrevista
I applied online. It took 3 weeks for the manager to contact me directly and set up a short phone interview where he explained the job to me and confirmed I was interested. They set up a more extensive round of (virtual) interviews for a month later. I interviewed again with the manager, and other people including a person from the HR department. After that I received an offer in less than a week.

Plusieurs entretiens, en remote et sur place bien que le hiring manager avait deja ses preferences pour un autre candidat. Au final beaucoup de temps investi pour pas grand chose..
Let me preface this by saying I'm fine with situational/behavioral interviews, but this one sure was a doozy. The team that interviewed me was clearly coached by the hiring manager to harp on my lack of experience with 1% of the job description, rather than engage me and ask me to further explain any piece of the 99% I fit.
All my interviews were 30 minute blocks and the interviewers asked me questions 29-30 minutes into this time -- therefore I was unable to ask anything. It reeked of "we don't really care about you, nor want you to feel welcome, we just need to see how you do under a manufactured high-stress 30 minutes".
I suspect Novartis believes that just because they're getting 1,000 applications per opening (we're in an employer's market right now as of this posting in 7/2024), they can afford to be Darwinistic in their hiring approach to see who rises. Be advised of this and go in expecting that you'll be put through a ringer, as a result.
