I applied through other source. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Novartis (East Hanover, NJ) in Jan 2013
Interview
My process started by reaching out to the hiring manager, which led to a phone screen, then interview in person. There were several phone calls between the screen and the interview with the hiring manager. The hiring manager seems to have final say in who gets hired, so this is a crucial phase. The interview was about 1/2 day at a hotel meeting room and consisted of four 1:1 sessions and a presentation (the presentation topic was up to me). Everything was very professional yet cordial, just like the company.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Novartis (Calgary, AB) in Mar 2022
Interview
2 stages: (1) virtual screening with talent acquisition and (2) panel interview and clinical study presentation
Entry-level applicant and first MSL interview. I had a very positive experience at both stages of the interview. Absolutely no complaints for anyone on the team. Everyone was very personable and the interview felt more like a conversation than an interview. Unfortunately the other applicant at the 2nd stage had more experience to handle specific needs of the company at that specific time.

Ho ricevuto un primo contatto telefonico e poi ho fatto due colloqui. Il primo con le risorse umane insieme all’MSL manager, il secondo con il responsabile dell’area terapeutica. Entrambi i colloqui sono stati svolti in presenza.
I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 5 months. I interviewed at Novartis in Jun 2021
Interview
5 Interviews mit verschiedenen Abteilungen. Eine Woche, um eigene Präsentation vorzubereiten. Hat zu lange gedauert. Zeitaufwändig in allen Aspekten. Das Team war nicht wirklich freundlich. Ich würde nicht mehr so viel Zeit in einen solchen Prozess investieren.

Question 1
Typische Fragen, aber man müsste selbst eine Präsentation erstellen und halten. Sehr zeitaufwendig.
