I applied online. The process took 4 days. I interviewed at Bristol Myers Squibb (Telephone, TX) in Oct 2018
Interview
I had an initial telephone call with talent acquisition and then a telephone interview with the head of department which was a strange experience. I got asked a detailed study analysis question over the phone which was very challenging with no written information. Following this, I had to follow up and request feedback and an update.
