The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Catalent Pharma (Morrisville, NC) in Apr 2011
Interview
Interview process was easy if you can articulate yourself. As it is an entry level position they asked many basic questions like "Name the components of an HPLC". There were a lot of situation questions where you had to describe past events and how you handled them. Again fairly easy if you take a breath and then answer.

Interview
A recruiter will be the first to contact you. It is a high level interview, going over your previous experience and minor details of the position you are applying for. They will send off your resume to the hiring manager, and if the hiring manager likes the resume/recommendation, then you proceed with a panel interview. Pre-COVID19, you go on-site and interview with multiple interviewers. Now, it’s virtual panel interview. STAR questions may be asked.
