I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Novartis (New York, NY) in Jun 2017
Interview
I meet with 5 people, even though I was only scheduled for 4. Shortly after I learned from friends that there was a hiring freeze. No one from the company officially responded to me even though they said they would. I felt like the interview was a searching mission for them on how to create the position and it's reporting structure.
