I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at GSK in Sept 2011
Interview
The candidate receive phone call from recruiter saying that there is an opportunity bla bla and would you be interested and if so, would you be available for interview with Manager in 2 days time?
SURE.. Candidates' dream coming true...
Interview takes less then 15 minutes and you get rejection the very evening.
Candidate has traveled around 360 miles round trip, wasted so much time and energy... but apparently, it was a setup to fill in so called "Equal Opportunity" section on their files. Total scam.
Highly disappointed that companies like GSK are behaving in this manner.
Assessment center: working on a task in a team - checking how one can work in a team environment. Next step was to present a business case solution. It had to be prepared in advance. 1:1 interview based on cv, request to give benefits of their then new operating model.
