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.
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.
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.
