I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at GSK in Aug 2022
Interview
Two weeks after applying HR reached out to me and set an interview. HR mainly asked a few behavioral questions, my availability and background. A week after I interviewed with the hiring manager and his boss. They mainly asked technical questions to see if my background fits with the position+ some behavioral questions. After about a week HR emailed me that the hiring manager is going to select you for the next step. Interview scheduled after 40 days. It was a virtual panel interview. It started with my presentation (45 min +15 min Q&A) and some technical questions. Then interviewed with 4 different small groups and managers.

Why do you want to work at GSK?
Great and speedy interview process consisting of 2 virtual rounds and 1 in person. Genuinely interested in my questions for a discussion on how it fits the vision for the role that I applied

Question 1
Introduce yourself, what are strengths, how does your experience fit this role and possible challenges
Screening interview with HR then 45 min phone interview followed by full day onsite interview. Everyone was very nice and the technical questions were limited to your own research. Overall a pleasant experience.

Question 1
What was your favorite paper that you read in recent literature and why?
Initial chat with a recruiter with standard procedure, mostly talking about the "logistics" of the job, e.g. salary range, location, etc. Then chat with hiring manager. After that I was invited to give a technical presentation, followed by about 6 different 1:1 or 1:2 interviews, the talk and interviews were conducted virtually. Lastly a site visit in person. Site visit included lunch and additional 1:1 conversations.
