I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Novartis (East Hanover, NJ) in May 2009
Interview
Pretty straight-forward for a scientific job. Met with upper management, met with colleagues, presented previous scientific research, lunch, etc. The HR rep was the most annoying since the only questions they can ask are the behavior related questions and at the end of the day, their opinion in the hiring of an individual is not considered.
