I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Astellas in Jun 2010
Interview
Company recruiter contacted me to see if I would be interested in contimuing the process with a phone interview. hey were very accomodating with scheduling the time. After the phone interview (1/2 an hour) I was called 2 days later to schedule the 1-1 with theRegional Manager.
We spoke for about 90 minutes. Guy was dynamic, committed and really knew the industry and the right rep for the territory--It wasn't me but he personally followed up to ask me to keep in touch for future opportunities. I would work for this co in a heart beat.
Great culture, commitment to excellence, progressive mindset.
Interview questions [2]
Question 1
So do you want to know how much money you'll make?
Standard STAR questions after going through the resume. Why am I giving this a thumbs down? Ryan the internal recruiter said, and I quote, "Tell me the lowest salary you'd be willing to accept for this role." Is there a more demeaning question you can ask? Of course I didn't answer that question. Sure, let me give you a number and then they'll come in 10-15% higher, making you think you got the better deal. However, the range was much higher and you just lowballed yourself. He said I would make the next round of interviews and I didn't.
I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Astellas in Aug 2023
Interview
4 separate interviews- 1 with a recruiter, 1 with RSM, one w 2 RSMs, and one w ASD. Pretty standard questions. Astellas believes a lot in culture, team development, and ethics/compliance. Overall fairly average process.
It was not what i expected, i thought it was going to be telephone because the email states that but it's virtual. Could have more clear in the email they sent out to better prepare their applicants
