I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Novartis (Cambridge, MA) in Apr 2009
Interview
I had one on-site interview with Novartis and it went very well. I waited for their answer for 3 weeks then wrote a kind email, the answer was that we won't be able to hire you right now. Later I heard that they got into a hiring freeze.

Question 1
Would you be interested in a different position than one you are interviewing for right now?
