      Research Scientist Interview

      9 Dec 2018
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Collegeville, PA
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at GSK (Collegeville, PA) in Nov 2018

      Interview

      Initial phone call with HR followed by technical call with hiring manager then on-site interview. The on-site interview consisted of 45-minute panels from 8:30am-4:30pm with a one hour presentation and one hour “lunch break” during which I was questioned the whole time. The entire day was like an interrogation and even my presentation was interrupted every 10 minutes with questions. After all this I was sent a rejection email almost one month later saying they decided not to fill the position.

      Question 1

      Behavioral questions, why do you want the job, where do you see yourself in five years

      Very thoughtful and collaborative with the opportunity to ask questions. Good testing of knowledge of synthetic Organic Chemistry with medicinal Chemistry knowledge also tested. Tours of laboratories were useful as well for the context.

      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at GSK (Rockville, MD) in Apr 2023

      Interview

      The interview process was very rigorous and unnecessarily repetitive for a very entry level position. They were very disorganized and not good at communicating questions and when I misunderstood I was laughed at by the team.
