I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Sanofi in May 2013
Interview
A friend of mine received the offer and just passed the contact of the recruiter on to me as
he could not take it up.
Received a call very soon and I was very quickly connected to the hiring manager.
A decent interview.
Quizzed on the basic requirements of the role and other aspects of my resume.
Not extraordinarily technical.
They were looking for people who could learn.
The questions were pertinent, the interviewers were pretty nice. However, it may take a long time to get an answer back from the interview, at least it was my case.
