I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Novartis (Raleigh, NC) in Apr 2015
Interview
It was with a panel of 3 interviewers, and they seemed very keen on technical skills/past experiences the most, with communication skills coming at a close second. They did not mention or were interested in experiences or extra curricular outside of anything related to their company.
Interview questions [2]
Question 1
How do you deal with time management when you have too much on your schedule?
