Interview was on phone first, then face to face with one to two managers. They then sent you on to meet with Regional Director. Normal way of doing things. The interview process was simple. Just need to do your homework on who they are, their products, etc...

I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Novartis (Plainsboro, NJ) in Apr 2014
Interview
Very rigorous. The check on the background for a while. I was waiting for them to get back for weeks. There were two rounds of interviews. First round you meet with line management and peers who ask you questions about fit, function and motivation. Then second round is more or less with upper management - they ask you to present to larger group.
