I applied online. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Pharmascience (Montreal, QC) in June 2021
Interview
STEP 1- screening by HR: personal background, salary expectations.
STEP 2- technical level 1: experience + knowledge in a meeting with supervisor(s), manager(s).
STEP 3- technical level 2: experience + knowledge in a meeting with supervisor(s), manager(s), director.
It's routine vibe for undergrad candidate with 1-3-yr experience or a fresh pro-graduate.
