I applied online. I interviewed at Catalent Pharma
Interview
Initially applied online, and had a phone interview about 4-6 weeks later. Face to Face interview about a week later with 3 separate people. It was supposed to be 3 separate 1:1 interviews, but they each overlapped, so it felt like a 2 person panel at times. Only downside of the whole process was the time from initial application, to the time I started work. I think it was 2 to 3 months for the whole process.

Question 1
Most questions were comparing my resume to the job, and asking how I would handle different situations. Obviously being pharmaceutical, they wanted to know how much experience, if any I had with that (no previous pharma experience, only project management).
