How can you relate innovation with your experience?
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at MSD (Lucerne) in Dec 2019
Interview
Ich wurde durch ein vorheriges Rekrutierungsverfahren zu einem Vorstellungsgespräch eingeladen. Nach ca 15 min wurden mir 2 zukünftige Kolleginnen vorgestellt, die auch ein paar Fragen stellen durften. Ich durfte noch die Räumlichkeiten besichtigen. Sehr professionelles Gespräch in einer angenehmen Atmosphäre. Für die darauf folgende Woche wurde ich noch zu einem weiteren Gespräch mit dem nächsten Vorgesetzten eingeladen. Danach waren sich alle einig und ich durfte den Vertrag unterschreiben.

In-person Interviews
It takes a ridiculously long time to even have any response.
Extremely inefficient.
I don't know if the reason why their attitudes are bad since it's a non-paid internship, but MSD is a successful global pharmaceutical company in the world, it's hard to believe that they value human resources in this sloppy way.
