      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Takeda Pharmaceuticals in Oct 2022

      Interview

      Pretty typical setup for scientific interviews: conversations with hiring manager followed by schedule of seminar presentation and several one on ones with team members and managers over a couple days (virtual). Essentially ghosted me after all of these meetings and interviews which is unprofessional.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Lots of diving into the technical details of the seminar presentation and clarifying how you might use skills and analysis in the new role.
