Interviewed by two managers. Questions were ok nothing too difficult however the interviewers were very rude and talked across me. Signs of bad management. As a graduate this was an awful experience. They also gave some feedback which was in similar line to the attitude I received on the day. Very dismissive experience overall and I would never apply to this company again.
Friendly interviewers that made you feel comfortable and not too nervous
Typical interview questions that you would get in any interview e.g. why this specific programme, how does your previous experience...

I applied through university. The process took 5 months. I interviewed at MSD (London, England)
Interview
I cannot believe how backward this company is, it took 5 months for before I even spoke to anyone (in person) about the job. It is crazy how slow MSD operate and further more how bad there salaries are (especially for London). The recruiter seemed was unresponsive and she clearly doesn't care. Just seems like the type of company that treats people like numbers.
