Application
I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Sanofi (Swiftwater, PA) in Jan 2015
Interview
2 phone interviews, 2 in person interviews at headquarters and multiple follow up calls after. In person interviews were panel type with 3+ interviewers at a time. Consisted of standard interview questions and a case study discussion. Overall it was a pretty standard interview and was as expected. All interviewers were very courteous and professional.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
If we could call a past manager, what would they say are your best assets and what do you need to work on?
Phone screen with recruiter. Another phone screen with Hiring manager. Virtual interview with 6+ people for 1 hour per person. Took 2 months to hear back after virtual interview. Very obvious communication gap between recruiter and hiring manager.
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Sanofi (Swiftwater, PA) in Jul 2019
Interview
Phone screen with recruiter and hiring manager, which went extremely well. Was invited in where I met first with the hiring manager, then her supervisor. The former was just terrible as she seemed bothered by my age (I sound younger on the phone) and even though we discussed exactly the same topics as on the phone, now she was down right rude.
Previously I was also scheduled for 3 zoom (video) interviews with 1 peer and 2 other department manager, which I completed a couple of days later. All three interviewers were very complementary and mentioned that it was hard to find people with this experience. In the end I didn't get an offer due to blatant ageism in their hiring practices.
Also don't expect to get reimbursed for your expenses.

Interview
it was quick but very government like atmosphere. I was contacted and then phone interview with team members followed by interview with hiring manager and HR. Took over 1 - 2 months.
