I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Novartis (East Hanover, NJ) in May 2014
Interview
Had an hour-long phone interview, I spent the first half hour being interviewed by one executive and the last half hour with a different executive. Made it to an in-person interview and was interviewed by four different coordinators over the course of several hours.
One interview via Teams, about 30 minutes of general questions, followed by what I thought was going to be a second interview but rather, a meeting to tell me I was getting the job

Question 1
How would you go about solving an issue between two members of your team?
3 rounds, all behavioral. A lot of it seemed very repetitive as I was being asked a lot of the same questions by different people. They have extremely long wait times and response times between interviews.
two rounds of interview, first with a postdoc and then with the team. Questions on single cell biology sequencing and analyes, and how would I approach it. Also basic statistics questions, and some on your past relevant projects
