I applied online. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at GSK (Stevenage, England) in Nov 2018
Interview
First step was to do an online test with a resume and a few questions on why you want the placement/to work at GSK. Following this, I was invited to an on-site interview which consisted of a technical interview, strengths-based interview, and group interview. I received an offer within 3 hours of finishing the interviews.

Question 1
For the technical interview, there were a lot of "knowledge" questions that were relevant to the position
Overall I had a positive experience. The assessment centre included a mix of individual and team tasks, as well as a situational based interview. GSK is a great company to work for as an Industrial placement student.
