I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at GSK (Collegeville, PA) in Oct 2019
Interview
I was first contacted by an HR person who told me a hiring manager was very interested in my application. I had a phone screening interview with the HR person, and 2 weeks later, had a technical phone conversation with the hiring manager. The conversation took about 40 min with very intense technical questions.
I was then invited for an onsite interview 2 weeks after the phone interview.
The interview:
Greeting by hiring manager in the morning
presentation
personal interviews 1on 1 30min with a lot of people
Interview took about 5 hours. It was relatively short but still very exhausting and intense.
Got an email 6 days after with a rejection.

Question 1
Introduce yourself, what are strengths, how does your experience fit this role and possible challenges
Screening interview with HR then 45 min phone interview followed by full day onsite interview. Everyone was very nice and the technical questions were limited to your own research. Overall a pleasant experience.

Question 1
What was your favorite paper that you read in recent literature and why?
Initial chat with a recruiter with standard procedure, mostly talking about the "logistics" of the job, e.g. salary range, location, etc. Then chat with hiring manager. After that I was invited to give a technical presentation, followed by about 6 different 1:1 or 1:2 interviews, the talk and interviews were conducted virtually. Lastly a site visit in person. Site visit included lunch and additional 1:1 conversations.
