I applied online. The process took 8 weeks. I interviewed at Pfizer (Beijing, Beijing) in Jan 2021
Interview
This is a role within the HR department.
Received on-site interview invitation about 2 weeks after applied on the company's website. Went to their office 3 weeks later to have the on-site interview with the Recruiter. The recruiter was polite and asked a lot of details into every past work experience. But the recruiter does not know very well about the role's duties and purposes as this is a new role. The interview lasted almost 1 hour and the recruiter said there will be an update the following week. However, that didn't happen and I sent an email to inquire, only to be told that no information on the next step. Now it has been more than 3 weeks since the interview and still no response. I regard this as a silent rejection and absolutely no respect to candidates going to their office in freezing cold.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2+ months. I interviewed at Pfizer (New York, NY) in Oct 2025
Interview
I applied for the job August 21st, contacted by the recruiter September 19th, and had a screening video call the next day. Hiring manager called me on the phone September 30th, great conversation. Calls me back October 13th to schedule a 3 person panel interview on October 16th, which goes very well. Radio silence for two full weeks, texted hiring manager for update on 10/28. Wrote back 10/30 they went with an internal candidate. 70+ days from start to finish. Woof.
