Process follows a very structured pattern of several interviews starting with a phone interview and leading to several in-person interviews. Expect a wide variety of questions that demonstrate the ability to think critically and on your feet.

The most difficult questions require a number of answers and require describing not only what your actions were, but the outcome and how it impacted others.
I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Takeda Pharmaceuticals
Interview
District Manager phone call, District Manager personal interview, District Manager/Regional Manager personal interview. The process was fairly quick once it started. All steps leading up to getting hired took approximately 2 weeks. I was barely able to give 2 weeks notice for my other job since they wanted me on board right away to get into the upcoming training meeting.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Takeda Pharmaceuticals (London, England) in Feb 2014
Interview
Structured and efficient process. Began with 10-15 min phone interview with HR then invited to face to face interview 2 weeks later. Interviewed with the hiring manager and his line manager, each 20-30min. An interactive session that it very useful for both sides to find out about each other. Job description is generally generic, as a reference at most.
