One initial call with HR and a second call with SDR manager. Then in person interview and call with head of life sciences. First two stages were quite relaxed and not too high pressure.
The process was well-organized and moved quickly. It started with an initial screening call with HR to discuss my background in SaaS and my experience with the subscription model. This was followed by a more technical interview with the hiring manager. We discussed PatSnap's R&D intelligence platform and how to handle complex client queries. The team was professional and provided clear insights into the company culture.
