Interview
Initial recruiter reached out for an initial interview and then went dead for about a week. I sent 2 or 3 emails to them trying to find out what had happened. They got back to me and sent me to another recruiter as they were doing something else. The sent the new recruiter a note and heard back about a week later. The following week I had two onsite interviews with hiring manager and their senior. This was followed two days later with another individual who was in charge of the business unit. After this interview, I reconnected with the hiring manager and the following day the recruiter. Was told decisions would be Friday, then Monday, then Tuesday and I would hear something, either way, Thursday at the latest. Friday came and no word. I followed up with an email to the recruiter with no response.
All and all the process wasn't bad, especially for such a large company. My only comment would really be communication with the candidate in the end, especially if you say you will.

Interview
I was contacted about 2 weeks after submitting my application online. Spoke with the recruiter and she gave some good information and guidance on the process. The same day I received an email from the hiring manager to discuss the role but via phone instead of their standard Teams meeting. The phone call was about 45 minutes long, however, I was not asked much which leads me to believe this was a filler interview and they already had a candidate in mind. I followed up a week later and never heard anything. It’s was disappointing to be ghosted by a company like this.

Interview
It's alright, High metrics, it really depends on your manager and team. Everything is silo'd. Hard to progress. Constantly focused on building new platforms instead of fixing those they already have.

Interview
One phone screening, one interview with the hiring manger, a panel interview, and an interview with higher leadership. The process lasts at least 2 months, the reason is because they already have a pre-selected internal candidate. They will drag you along the whole process, only to let you know there was a strong internal candidate. J&J will prefer internal candidates over external, most roles have been already filled internally.
