I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Roche (Milan)
Interview
Interview process is quite smooth and properly organized, perfect timings and contents. I would qualify as a very positive experience. You have first meeting with HR and direct manager, then a one to one with your manager and finally a quick call from HR to set the proposal. The whole process took around 3-4 weeks. Marketing positions could be asked to prepare a Business Case.
