I applied online. I interviewed at GSK (Brentford, England) in Feb 2024
Interview
Three stages of interview which I felt went well. Same format as everyone describes (1. screening HR telephone interview, 2. Hiring manager interview 3. Leadership team interview.
After the 3rd round, I was told that I would be contacted straight away to start HR processes as they are desperate to get someone in post quickly, and so felt very confident that I had the job, Unfortunately I was never contacted by the hiring manager or HR for feedback after the 3rd round and therefore can only assume I didn't get the job. The Workday portal still hasn't been updated (its approaching the 3 week mark now), I followed up with HR after 2 weeks to see if they could put me out of my misery however they never got back to me.
A real shame as the lack of follow up post-interview (particularly a 3rd stage interview) has put me off applying for this company in the future.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
1. Why GSK, 2. Your experience/professional history, 3. Conflict example, 4. Problem solving example
The interview process was pretty typical and I had good interactions with everyone that I spoke to, whether it was on the phone or an in person interview though it has been a few years since I did it
Everyone was well prepared, and it was a great opportunity to meet many people on the team. I went through several rounds of interviews with different small groups of interviewees.

I was asked about specific policy issues and about how I would respond in different work situations.
Initial call with HR with motivations for positions, reasons for wanting to join GSK with some detail on role and benefits. Fast turnaround with subsequent call the next week for first round with the team.
