Interview
Two rounds of interview, first round is a "group" interview which involved four activities. This includes individual case, group case, behavioural/fit questions, and market sizing question. Second/final round consisted of 1 fit interview with VP, and 2 cases. Cases were not actually life sciences related. VP gave a rather an arrogant impression. Very disappointed to find that after final round, no feedback was given and there was poor communication throughout.
