I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Takeda Pharmaceuticals (Chicago, IL) in Mar 2013
Interview
The Interview Process was very long. I think I applied for a job in January and I had to fill out another form in February. Had a phone interview in March and never heard back from the company so obviously I didn't get the internship.

Question 1
There really wasn't a difficult question. The questions were your typical standard HR questions.
Really well structured and very nice and friendly people. It wasn’t rushed and they took their time to explain to me the format of the assessment task. Their were around 3 different interview stages, one being a presentation which was around 5-10 mins.
Only 1 interview. No one contacted me to say I was rejected. I found out by looking on Workday to see I’m no longer considered. Not the worst but I would have appreciated more communication. The recruiter was very helpful though.
I applied online. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Takeda Pharmaceuticals (Cambridge, MA) in Apr 2025
Interview
2 back to back interviewers with basic behavioral and experience questions. It was pretty informal in my view, I spoke with my manager and her boss. They were very friendly and told me only 2-4 other applicants were being interviewed.
