I applied online. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Sanofi in Jun 2021
Interview
The interview was poorly arranged with an unusual and uncomfortable timeline. The people displayed a strange and not so forthcoming vibe. The interaction with the hiring person was good but their boss is such a pain.

Question 1
Lots of technical questions beyond your level of experience, as if they only care for ready-worker and have no interest in training those who are new.
I applied online. I interviewed at Sanofi (Framingham, MA)
Interview
The interview process consisted of multiple rounds and was very well organized and structured. Each stage was clearly communicated, and the conversations flowed smoothly from one step to the next. I found the overall experience to be straightforward and comfortable, which made it easy to focus on discussing my background, experience, and interests in the role.
Everyone involved in the process was very friendly and welcoming, which created a positive and professional atmosphere throughout the interviews. The discussions felt natural and collaborative, and I appreciated the opportunity to meet the team and learn more about their work. Overall, the process went very well and left me with a very good impression of the organization and the people involved.
I had an initial conversation with the hiring manager and was then invited to move forward to a panel interview, where I presented some of the research I’ve worked on.

Question 1
One of the questions they asked was what excited me most about the role
Interviewed twice with the same group for different roles. I had a 1hr interview with Hiring manager. Then a 2, 1 hr technical panel interviews. There were no behavioural questions. The questions weren't remotely hard, as the work they were doing was copy-paste my whole career.
I was ghosted both times after the panel interviews which consisted of the same people. I was really excited about the role.
