I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Takeda Pharmaceuticals (Cambridge, MA) in Feb 2017
Interview
A 30 minutes phone interview with the Hiring Manager. The questions were mainly focused on technical skills. Then was invited for an onsite interview 2 weeks later. I was asked both technical and behavioral questions. A lot of importance is given to collaboration and getting along with the team. Overall the environment is very positive!
