Recruiting process was lengthy (2 months) but understandably so because the team was trying to fill multiple roles at the same time. Overall, it was a smooth process. The recruiter was very responsive and great to work with. Some challenges with scheduling, but it was resolved quickly. Everyone I met with were pleasant to interact with and felt engaged.
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Kite Pharma (Santa Monica, CA) in Jan 2024
Interview
Recruiter reach out to me. Then a phone screening for 30 minutes with recruiter. Followed by 30 minutes phone screening with hiring manager. Then 30 minutes interview with each member of the team team.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Kite Pharma (Bergen op Zoom) in July 2022
Interview
The process took several months but I think that was in part to me not being in a hurry.
I met with a total of 9 people for about 1/2 hour each over the course of a few weeks, over zoom.
The recruiters were friendly and easy to get in touch with. They responded quickly when I had questions or was following up.
When an offer was about to be made, contact with the recruiters was frequent and responsive.
Overall it was a very positive experience because I was currently employed and was not in a hurry to make a switch. However, if I was unemployed this timeline would have been excruciating.
