Interview questions [1]
Question 1
give an example of how you dealt with a difficult client in the past
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at GLG (Londres, Inglaterra) in Dec 2017
Interview
Initial phone screening with Hiring Manager, then invited for face-to-face/video call interviews with 3 members of the Healthcare Equities Team.
Hiring Manager was friendly and helpful in providing advice and preparation for the interview process. However, I found the interviewers to be generally unfriendly and arrogant; they weren't interested in my previous experience, skills or career motivations - only what knowledge I had of the pharmaceutical industry.
Before attending the interview I was concerned to read lots of negative reviews from employees and interview candidates on Glassdoor. During the interview I very quickly realised this company and role wouldn't be a good fit for me.
