I applied online. I interviewed at Pfizer in Oct 2023
Interview
Strong start- they sent me a Hirevue and I also did some networking Zooms. I had a few days to complete the Hirevue and got extremely sick, so I reached out to the recruiters two separate times and received no response about postponing the interview.
I did the interview on time, and received a personalized email saying they received it and "more to come next week." I never received any response after that, even after following up. Not very impressed

Hirevue had around 5 questions and you could retake the video. Question about working with a team
I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Pfizer (Cambridge, MA) in Oct 2025
Interview
Single-round interview where I was asked to prepare a 5-minute, 3-slide deck about myself and my research. I essentially pitched myself to the interviewing panel, and they asked questions based on my experience following the presentation.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Please explain the long-term goals of your research project further. What progress did you make towards those goals?
1 hour interview where you present a prepared slide deck going over your background, work experience, and goals. Then the panelists ask questions that relate to Pfizer's 4 pillars that you can find on their website. After words they give you the floor to ask any questions you have about the position.
It was a pretty straight forward behavioral interview with a ten minute introductory presentation before the standard interviews questions were asked. Most of the questions reflected their values as a company and are on their website.
