I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Sanofi (Bridgewater, NJ) in Feb 2018
Interview
Two rounds for one hour each. First one was a 1:1 interview with hiring managers then a panel interview with the team. Very smooth and easy communication for each step of the process.
A day after applying for a specific position, they sent me an email if I'm available for an interview. They didn't specify the position (on purpose).
The recruiter called me and told me this is not actually about the position I applied for, because -as she waguely described- they are looking for a more senior candidate, and the hiring manager is still not sure what they are looking for for this role anyway. Based on the job description I'm a perfect fit based on the experiences, skills, and relevant years spent in a similar role. This is clearly a a ghost job if I ever seen one. Then she asked me about one of my more junior previous roles from about five years ago, because I would be a good fit for one of their controller openings. (they have about a dozen of those for budapest only, makes me wonder how many of them real). Needless to say I turned out NOT to be a good fit for the role, since it was only remotely resembling to one of my earlier roles, which was clearly visible on my CV and LinkedIn profile, and the whole conversation could have been avoided by reading my CV. A complete waste of time.
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Sanofi (Paris) in June 2025
Interview
J’ai eu l’opportunité de passer un entretien chez Sanofi, et le processus a été clair et professionnel du début à la fin. Les échanges avec les recruteurs et le manager étaient constructifs, axés autant sur mes compétences que sur mes motivations. Je me suis senti écouté et respecté.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Pouvez-vous me parler d’une situation où vous avez dû résoudre un problème complexe en équipe ?
I had a phone interview with the HR to know each other. After that I had a zoom Interview with my future boss where I talked about my background and my past experiences and she explained to me the job that I had to do.
