Novartis interview questions

First interview with hiring managers: 30 minute video call, fairly general background questions and getting to know each other Second and final interview: 45 minute seminar presentation, then 30 minute interviews with 2-3 employees. Instead of an on-site interview, this was all through Zoom, but allowed for interviews across different sites, from Cambridge, Emeryville, and Basal. The schedule started with the seminar (with questions, a total of 1 hour), then one 30 minute interview, then a 2 hour break (for lunch). Then, two 30 minute interviews, another hour break, and a final 30 minute interview with the hiring managers again. Overall, this was a fairly casual process, the employers mostly asked questions about the seminar and talked or answered questions about Novartis.

Very clear communication and timeline. There were multiple tiers of interview starting with the HR representative, then hiring manager, then country general manager and lastly the regional CFO. Each interview was unique and well structured.
