I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Pfizer (London, England) in Oct 2020
Interview
A very rapid screening call by HR. Very pleasant and quite transparent with salary and benefits, and timelines of the interview. Within one week had a call with the hiring manager. One slide presentation, very specific questions and very pleasant interaction. No other call or interview, just one stage, one call, straight with the hiring manager. Then an agonizing 3 weeks of waiting for the outcome.
