InterviewI applied through a recruiter. The process took 7 weeks. I interviewed at Allergan (Toronto, ON)
Unnecessarily Long. Recruiter provided good guidance. Interviewed through their CRO. I applied to the posting online. There was a simple phone screen and then a request via email to set up an interview time. I met with 3 people at 3 levels of management. Interviewers ask standard behavioral questions generated by HR. You are also interviewed by HR. Overall process was okay, professional, and friendly.
