      I applied through university. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Novartis (Hyderābād)

      Interview

      4 rounds of interview - first round was focused on project management with global teams. Different scenarios and how you will tackle those situations. 2nd Round was more about what value you can add to the company and why you are best suited for this job profile. 3rd round was HR round. It was focused on international and cultural diverse experience. 4th Round was my boss to assess if I am fit to work with culturally diverse global team.

      I interviewed at Novartis

      Interview

      The interview process took 3 months, 3 rounds of interviews with several team members. After the 3rd round, I was starting to think they weren’t really hiring. What a waste of my time.

      Teams are very knowledgeable and welcoming. Asked a lot of technical questions. Scenario based questions were decent. It was a good experience. HR also asks decent amount of questions. Prepare and stay positive throughout. Don’t be too serious when answering

      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Novartis (Mumbai) in Apr 2024

      Interview

      Certainly! Here is the standardized version: --- The interview process consisted of three rounds. After the final round, the HR representative did not provide any results or respond to follow-up emails, which I found very unprofessional. Replying to follow-up emails is important, regardless of whether the outcome is successful or not, as it provides valuable feedback to the candidate. If this had occurred after the first round and resulted in my elimination, it might have been justified. However, after investing time in three rounds, such behavior is not appropriate for a people-friendly MNC like Novartis. Despite the significant time I invested in this process, my follow-up communication was ignored, and I was effectively ghosted. This behavior is disappointing, especially considering how smooth the interviews were and how friendly and lively the team appeared. HR representatives are not upholding the brand's reputation in the market through such unprofessional handling of recruitment processes. It is very unprofessional to consider no-reply as a sufficient response in every situation.
