I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Kite Pharma (Bergen op Zoom) in Jul 2022
Interview
The process took several months but I think that was in part to me not being in a hurry.
I met with a total of 9 people for about 1/2 hour each over the course of a few weeks, over zoom.
The recruiters were friendly and easy to get in touch with. They responded quickly when I had questions or was following up.
When an offer was about to be made, contact with the recruiters was frequent and responsive.
Overall it was a very positive experience because I was currently employed and was not in a hurry to make a switch. However, if I was unemployed this timeline would have been excruciating.

I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Kite Pharma (Santa Monica, CA) in Jan 2024
Interview
Recruiter reach out to me. Then a phone screening for 30 minutes with recruiter. Followed by 30 minutes phone screening with hiring manager. Then 30 minutes interview with each member of the team team.
Recruiting process was lengthy (2 months) but understandably so because the team was trying to fill multiple roles at the same time. Overall, it was a smooth process. The recruiter was very responsive and great to work with. Some challenges with scheduling, but it was resolved quickly. Everyone I met with were pleasant to interact with and felt engaged.
