I applied through a recruiter. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Vertex Pharmaceuticals (Boston, MA) in Dec 2014
Interview
Recruiter was very light on details and did not know what position entailed so recruiter referred me to hiring Director. Make sure to ask all for timing questions and put everything in paper, even what they say they don't typically do, because they can and you will be safer.
