I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Novartis
Interview
Interview was pretty standard. There were 4 rounds on one day of 3 day-hiring drive. First was written round, second was technical with senior manager and third was with function head which was a mix of technical and HR. Fourth and final interview was with HR. The technical interview was based on resume and projects done in my previous experience. The selection was quite stringent, which is expected in a hiring drive and was roughly 40-50% selection at each stage.

Question 1
Be thorough on resume. The asked about a unique characteristic of an industry that I worked for on a project. This was an extension of the project and I had to be prepared.
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Novartis (Toronto, ON)
Interview
Interview lasted less than 30 mins, I did not get an offer yet, I felt rushed and was not able to show case my experience but overall its good. I do not know if i will get the role or not
The interview process took 3 months, 3 rounds of interviews with several team members. After the 3rd round, I was starting to think they weren’t really hiring. What a waste of my time.
Teams are very knowledgeable and welcoming. Asked a lot of technical questions. Scenario based questions were decent. It was a good experience. HR also asks decent amount of questions. Prepare and stay positive throughout. Don’t be too serious when answering
