I applied through an employee referral. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Takeda Pharmaceuticals
Interview
Initial phone call with HR, followed by call with hiring manager, and then for final round, was invited on-site (Cambridge, MA). The on-site visit lasted for about 6 hrs, and included me providing a presentation, in addition to multiple 1-on-1 interviews.
By far, one of the better experiences I've had. The coordination (including planning, scheduling my visit) was smooth. People I met were friendly, and I felt it the interviews were more of colleagues discussing state of industry, than grilling me.

Question 1
Typical skills and knowledge-based questions. Nothing out of the ordinary.
I interviewed at Takeda Pharmaceuticals (Philadelphia, PA)
Interview
Simple, straight forward. Typical HR recruiter screening followed by three virtual 1:1 interviews. Final interview was a virtual panel presentation on a role specific process development. The whole process took about 4 weeks.

Question 1
They asked how long I was in the vertical and the one process improvement I would bring to the organization.
Straightforward process, very lean. First rounds were conducted online. Final interview was in person and contained a self-presentation and Q&A session with multiple people from the leadership team. Talent acquisition was very quick and helpful with the entire process.
Internal interview (applied for a new role within the company). The interview process was quick and somewhat informal as I was already an employee at the company. The offer was made quickly and the overall process was efficient.
