J'ai postulé en ligne. J'ai passé un entretien chez Gilead Sciences (Foster City, CA) en août 2016
Entretien
I got a phone interview with HR and then invited for site interview! There was no scientific discussion before site interview! I went to the site and the interview was about 12 one on one and a presentation. Everything was fine and professional. However, there was a crazy scientist who thought he is very funny came in and scared me! He asked me very stupid questions from organic chemistry class. I felt like he is my investigator not interviewer! He thought he is very smart and wanted to show it off and approve that there is noone smarter than him.
Just be very well prepared for crazy scientists!!
HM phone screening and onsite interview with presentation. There was a group lunch with few team members. At the end of the day, there was a HR interview. I received a rejection by email.
