I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Takeda Pharmaceuticals in Jun 2023
Interview
The interview process was quite standard, starting with HR, the hiring manager, two peers, and then a member of the senior leadership. It took about 1,5 -2 months altogether. They were good at keeping me in the loop and eventually, I received a job offer as well. It was a good offer and I was inclined to accept it when I received an email that they were withdrawing (!) the offer. No phone call, no email from the hiring manager, only a formal and impersonal email from HR. I ended up writing to the hiring manager a professional email, hoping for some feedback but never received any reply. I've been through many interviews and processes and to this day this has been the most astonishing and unprofessional manner I have been treated.
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Takeda Pharmaceuticals in Jun 2023
Interview
Very smooth, respectful and time precise. The interviewers were not scary but genuinely wanted to know more about you. Questions and demands about salaries need to be very specific, but that is common in any company.
