I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Novartis (Cambridge, MA) in Mar 2014
Interview
Interview was very rigorous. The hiring manager was from Germany and he did go through every corner of my resume. I liked they way he put questions and of course I cracked them. German managers are very different they mostly try to see how a candidate fits in the company culture.
They contacted me asking if I am aware that the salary in Italy compared to Switzerland. When I replied of course, what would be the range you propose for the position, they ignored me completely
