Interview process was thorough and easily navigated. Everyone that I spoke with was highly passionate and knowledgable on their processes and mission. It was a great experience and would consider another job there down the road. However, this opportunity was not the right timing.

Anonymous Interview Candidate

Call from Staffing team, and VC with the hiring manager. Unfortunately not selected for the next round and no constructive feedback received (only a standard email). I did ask for a feedback but never got it.
- Questions were spot on : concrete experiences, aspirations, ...

Anonymous Employee
I applied online. I interviewed at Celgene in Dec 2020
Weeks after submitting resume, I received an email asking for a 30 mins screening with HR. This is the typical interview you get anywhere else: what experience do you have, skills you developed, etc. Then a 2 weeks after that I received an email asking for a virtue interview with 4 members (3 case study and 1 behavior). The case study interview is very innovative where they give you various imaginary could-happen scenario and ask you how you'll react. These are tricky and hard to prepare. You need some hands-on experience and/or good common sense. Of course knowing what the company does never hurts. The behavior one is closer to typical interview with a twist. He would give you a role-playing scenario where he acts like a jerk supervisor that doesn't take any advise and see how you react. In retrospect, I acted too passively aggressive. Not an easy interview but very creative.

J'ai postuler par internet, ils m'ont ensuite contacté pour un entretien physique ( une semaine après). J'ai eu un premier entretien physique puis un autre environ deux semaines plus tard.le 1er entretien 45min avec un chef d'équipe puis 30min avec la RH. En somme un processus d'entretien d'embauche normal. Très bon accueil lors des entretiens. Je recommande.
