      Medical Science Liaison Interview

      Nov 17, 2015
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      Declined offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Novartis in Sep 2015

      Interview

      Interview went very well, I enjoyed my discussion with the interviewers. However, the administrative staff coordinating the logistics were completely incompetent. Two days prior to my interview, I received an email from the administrative assistant with a menu attached asking me to select my lunch. I made my selection and replied within 15 minutes. Upon checking out of the hotel to go to the interview, the front desk informed me that there is no payment information listed (even though I had not made the reservation). I did not have time to investigate further so I paid the hotel so I could go to the interview. At around noon, there was a one hour break for lunch. I was to stay in the conference room, and lunch was going to be delivered to me, which never happened. I continued the interview process throughout the afternoon, without having had lunch. The interview was 9/10/15 and on 9/14/15, I submitted the appropriate form and documents for reimbursement. As of 11/17/15, I have not been reimbursed yet, and I have made numerous calls and given numerous stories, such as the check is still processing, the check has been mailed, it still needs approval etc. It appears that Novartis employees incompetent people to run the logistics of the company and it makes me happy that I had rejected the offer.

      Medical Science Liaison Interview

      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      Calgary, AB
      No offer
      Positive experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Novartis (Calgary, AB) in Mar 2022

      Interview

      2 stages: (1) virtual screening with talent acquisition and (2) panel interview and clinical study presentation Entry-level applicant and first MSL interview. I had a very positive experience at both stages of the interview. Absolutely no complaints for anyone on the team. Everyone was very personable and the interview felt more like a conversation than an interview. Unfortunately the other applicant at the 2nd stage had more experience to handle specific needs of the company at that specific time.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      - 3 words to describe yourself - Time that you dealt with conflict, followed up with a time you dealt conflict with a superior - other standard situational questions

      Application

      I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 5 months. I interviewed at Novartis in Jun 2021

      Interview

      5 Interviews mit verschiedenen Abteilungen. Eine Woche, um eigene Präsentation vorzubereiten. Hat zu lange gedauert. Zeitaufwändig in allen Aspekten. Das Team war nicht wirklich freundlich. Ich würde nicht mehr so ​​viel Zeit in einen solchen Prozess investieren.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Typische Fragen, aber man müsste selbst eine Präsentation erstellen und halten. Sehr zeitaufwendig.
