Positive Experience
Average Interview
Application

I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Pfizer (New York, NY) in Jan 2023

Interview

The interview process included a phone interview with the hiring manager (informal chat, 30'), an interview with another member in the team to provide feed back to the hiring manager and to understand about the position (30'), interview with HR (30'), panel interview (60'). Everything seems very short and go the points.

Screener 15 min late for interview, very loud background, couldn’t hear interview questions, wouldn’t answer salary questions, waste of time. Interviewer had no technical knowledge, basically needed buzz words to pass on to the hiring manager.

Pretty good. The interviewer was very friendly and asked good questions. Not that hard to answer, as long as you studied before hand minimum materials. Overall, pretty good interview on most standards, could have went a little faster.

Senior Resource Manager

Last Thursday and Friday I interviewed with 2 hiring managers for 2 different companies. Both of them said they’d like me to progress to the next interview and the recruiter would reach out. One company said they wanted a offer out this month so it would be a quick process. I sent thank you emails and references. I haven’t heard from either recruiter. I had the recruiter screening and hiring manager interview just days apart, I thought I’d hear back by now. Thoughts?!
