Took almost 2 weeks to get a response for interest. First interview was a 30 min phone call asking general questions (e.g. do you need sponsorship, salary expectations, are you willing to travel, do you have any other offers etc) . A week later, the second interview was a 30-min video call with the hiring manager. The manager asked more technical questions related to the position.

Interview

Applied on March 3rd got First coding round test on March 26th on basic SQL, Python, and Mathematics hacker rank questions. The second coding round was a difficult level Python hacker rank test which I solved all cases. Reached out to recruiter several times never got any responses never seen such an irresponsible person and please don't take students for granted. I could never imagine myself working for this company ever in my life.

Interview

The process is strength based interviewing and not competency based so prepare behavioural questions and personality based questions. The recruiter and the scientists I spoke to were very nice and easy to talk to -- be yourself and remember to relax during the interview.

Application

I applied online. The process took 3+ weeks. I interviewed at GlaxoSmithKline (New York, NY (US)) in June 2020.

Interview

Asked basic interview questions followed by a case study. The case study question doesn't have a right or wrong answer but I guess there are certain answers they were looking for. Emailed HR after a few weeks to ask for the results but HR wasn't sure. So I guess I wasn't offered the job.

Fantastic interview. Well-rounded engagement with qualifying questions that appeal to assesing both analytical skills and personal skills. Recruiter was delightful and feedback regarding candidacy was timely. I greatly enjoyed the interview process - questions were exactly as you'd expect.

Application

I applied online. The process took 2+ months. I interviewed at GlaxoSmithKline (Collegeville, PA (US)) in May 2020.

Interview

My resume was pushed through by a connection who had a friend who worked in the company. I first applied online.

I was phone screened the same week. 2 weeks later, I had a 45-minute phone interview with the hiring manager. About 3 weeks later, I was asked to participate in a virtual interview scheduled between 8 am and 4:15 pm. Total speaking time of 6 hours with numerous panels (yes, you have breaks and lunch). Followed up with thank you emails. Heard back 2 weeks later with an offer.

Advice:
1) Be yourself. Be outgoing and personable. The interviewers will pick up if you do not have communication skills. Treat this as a conversation, not an interrogation.
2) Keep your answers consistent and have your resume known by heart.
3) Know situations you wish to talk about. "I don't know" is NEVER an answer.
4) Be honest about mistakes and have a good answer on what you learned.
5) Be prepared for technical questions. If you are entry-level, they are not going to go overboard. Treat this as a small technical conversation with a familiar colleague.
6) This 8 hour interview is a test of endurance. Embrace the challenge.

phone interview, a simple question to introduce yourself and answer questions about the past experience and how you match the job. More questions about your past experience and future plan.

Interview

First Round: Hacker rank on SQL, Python, and Probability (Basic) on March 26th
Second Round: Python Programming (Difficult) on April 23rd
I followed up with the recruiter several times never got any reply and passed all the test cases in my programming questions. Still, no reply to my application and do not take us(students) for granted because the company provides jobs and salaries. I am never going to work for such company who doesn't respect me.
