I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at GSK
Interview
Pretty short interview compared to other big pharmaceuticals I interviewed at. Gave a research talk (45 min with questions after). Besides research talk, rest of interview was not that technical. There were 5 one on one interviews. they have questions that you answer using the star method. So they ask situational questions where you dealt with a difficult teammate or implemented a process improvement, stuff like that. People were very friendly and made sure I had time to ask questions.

Most difficult questions were from senior scientific managers during my talk
Great and speedy interview process consisting of 2 virtual rounds and 1 in person. Genuinely interested in my questions for a discussion on how it fits the vision for the role that I applied

Question 1
Introduce yourself, what are strengths, how does your experience fit this role and possible challenges
Screening interview with HR then 45 min phone interview followed by full day onsite interview. Everyone was very nice and the technical questions were limited to your own research. Overall a pleasant experience.

Question 1
What was your favorite paper that you read in recent literature and why?
Initial chat with a recruiter with standard procedure, mostly talking about the "logistics" of the job, e.g. salary range, location, etc. Then chat with hiring manager. After that I was invited to give a technical presentation, followed by about 6 different 1:1 or 1:2 interviews, the talk and interviews were conducted virtually. Lastly a site visit in person. Site visit included lunch and additional 1:1 conversations.
