I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Takeda Pharmaceuticals (Cambridge, MA) in May 2026
Interview
Streamlined, efficient, and transparent interview process. All that a candidate could ask for. I appreciated that they were upfront with the uncertainties and the opportunities. Clear communication was much appreciated.
Really well structured and very nice and friendly people. It wasn’t rushed and they took their time to explain to me the format of the assessment task. Their were around 3 different interview stages, one being a presentation which was around 5-10 mins.
