I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Pfizer (Kalamazoo, MI) in Apr 2010
Interview
Initial contact was established through a current employee, where I submitted a resume. One interview took place roughly a month after initial contact. The PI I interviewed with was friendly and engaged.

General questions about my background and behavioral scenarios. Questions on relative skills and previous experience on the technical aspect. There were 3 interview levels, with the first being with an external associate

interviewed through hirevue which was awful. Only gave you 1-3 minutes to prepare and did not allow retries. they asked multiple behavioral questions and i believe it was only 3 questions
I interviewed for their Pfizer Futures internship program and interviewed specifically for the Global Commercial Analytics internship. The interview was only 1 round (after a digital hirevue) and was entirely behavioral (they might have changed the format since)
