The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Sanofi (Cambridge, MA) in Jan 2010
Interview
I had applied online and got a telephonic interview which was pretty basic, they wanted to know more about my background, my previous job experiences and why I wanted to switch fields. I had to wait for about 2 weeks till I got an offer for an onsite interview. This was technical as well as behavioral..

Question 1
Give me three reasons why I should not select you?
It was a very long process. The time from the initial recruiter call to the offer was just over three months with long stretches of silence. I had an issue with the recruiter not relaying important information to the hiring manager, which subsequently painted me in a negative light when meeting with the manager. I interviewed virtually and in person at the office. The only detractor to the experience is the recruiting process. Everyone I interviewed with was very nice.

Question 1
After looking at our external presence, what would you do differently?
D’abord un rh puis un manager puis un autre manager dans le cas ou tu passe les 2 premiers entretiens pour obtenir le poste que tu veux ou pour etre redirigé

Question 1
Comment avez vous gerer vos difficultés si vous en aviez dans votre dernier poste
The first round is with HR, the second round with 5 managers which is quite overwhelming. It's not too difficult but it's a long interview with a lot of questions from all 5 managers (hiring manager, dotted lines, indirect managers...)
