I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Takeda Pharmaceuticals in Jan 2014
Interview
Applied online and received an email requesting a phone interview 2 months later. There were two people interviewing on the call. Fairly standard interview: tell me about yourself, walk me through your resume, why are you interested in this position, and then several behavioral/tell me about a time when... questions. I was told I'd hear back from them in 2-3 weeks and never even got a generated email response saying they were going to pursue other candidates...

Question 1
Can't remember specific questions, I think the behavioral questions were primarily teamwork focused.
Only 1 interview. No one contacted me to say I was rejected. I found out by looking on Workday to see I’m no longer considered. Not the worst but I would have appreciated more communication. The recruiter was very helpful though.
I applied online. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Takeda Pharmaceuticals (Cambridge, MA) in Apr 2025
Interview
2 back to back interviewers with basic behavioral and experience questions. It was pretty informal in my view, I spoke with my manager and her boss. They were very friendly and told me only 2-4 other applicants were being interviewed.
