I applied through college or university. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Novartis (Hyderābād) in Dec 2012
Interview
It was three step process. First step being written test, which tested aptitude and relevant pharma knowledge. Second step was technical interview. I was interviewed by 2 senior managers and hiring team lead. It mostly was about my experience in pharmacovigilance and daily duties and responsibilities of job I performed as an intern in the same company. Final round was HR, it was nominal, compensation discussion, company benefits and possible start date. It was a transparent and a nice experience.
