Interviewed Jul 2009 (took 3 weeks)
I found the HR department at BMS to be unprofessional throughout the process. I was never informed of the result of my interview (to this day) despite sending several messages to both HR and the Hiring Manager.

Interviewed Aug 2009 (took 3 months)
Initially was contacted by internal recruiter for the open position. Performed phone screen and interviewed 2 months later after a new district manager was put in place. I was interviewed by the hiring manager and another district manager. The interview was very laid back and both individuals were casually dressed. I prepared by studying the products and background of the company. My experience was good, even though I was not given an offer. However, the communication after the interview was lacking on their part. I was told that I would be notified of my status within the next 2 weeks and after a month of no communication and no response to my follow up emails, I found out that they offered the position to another candidate from a colleague.

Interviewed Jun 2008 in Princeton, NJ (took a day)
Interview process was rather quick. Was first called by HR person. HR person expressed that my background was great fit for the position and that there was an immediate need. Couple standard HR questions about background, salary, etc. Then after a couple weeks, met on-site with the hiring manager and team of scientists. Pre-formulated questions were given to staff as they asked me standard questions like "Name a time you faced adversity on a project and how you handled it". However I was caught off guard when I interviewed with one of the research staff and she immediately gave me a skills test and didn't have even a normal interview-like converstation. Was thrown for a loop with some very test-like stumper questions. However, they did treat me to lunch and the discussions and conversations I had with the director and hiring manager went very well and it was more natural. Overall, they expressed so much interest in my background and how good a fit I would be for the department, but it was kind of a let-down in the end because I wasn't given an offer. However, nothing is certain until your T's are crossed and i's are dotted.
