I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Sandoz
Interview
HIP was classic (Recruitment agency, HR, Functional head and Country Head). Liked functional one with group of seniors (some test were provided that was base for next career path :)).
May confirm that the process still the same.
It was almost a month from the time I had my initial telephone interview to the actual live interview. Two of the interviews were telephone interviews. I was treated in a professional manner. The interview approach was behavioral-based, consisting of questions about how I would react or have handled different situations in the past. I felt they did not ask enough questions about my technical expertise.
