I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Novartis in Oct 2008
Interview
The process began with an in-person with the recruiting agency. Thereafter, I went to Novartis where I met with 3 different people in the department (public relations) as well as the HR person. They were clearly conducting several interviews that day as I saw other candidates along the way, and I only had 30 mins with each interview.
