Difficult interview

Application

I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at GSK (Cambridge, East of England, England) in Aug 2013

Interview

1 interview of 3 rounds 1st round - presentation for 10 minutes and then questions on my presentation for 30 minutes. 2nd round - technical interview for an hour. Most questions are the nature of the job. 3rd round - HR interview for an hour.

Interview questions [1]

Question 1

First two rounds were very job specific and were very technical, scientific questions. HR interview was a little more difficult as I had to explain scenarios (stories) for lots of different questions and sometimes I couldn't think of a different story to the one I had already given. Questions like - Why GSK? Scenario where you showed leadership/teamwork? Scenario where you worked through a conflict? etc etc

1 Answer

Application

I applied online. I interviewed at GSK

Interview

The first round was a call with the recruiter. The second round was a group interview over zoom. The last round was onsite. Each step took one month to go to the next round. Because the process was so lengthy, I ended up accepting another offer before the last round.

Interview questions [1]

Question 1

The group interview consisted of back to back technical questions.

Difficult interview

Application

I interviewed at GSK (Stevenage, England)

Interview

Hirevue interview, with a set of questions to prerecord answers to, such as team work and employment history, it wasn’t the nicest process to go through as there was little feedback or any ability to speak to a real person
