First round of F2F finished yesterday, any good stories from the Janssen interviews? Awkward situations, odd STAR questions, bizarre personalities? I'm still waiting for my final, just trying to get a feel for what everyone is experiencing.
 












finished with the final process.....first person i interviewed with was very serious...went thru entire resume from the time i got out of college...also asked about my salaries at each position...
i walked out after an hour not getting the best vibe...second interview much better...very personable and laid back with some specific star quesitons. there appeared to be a list that they could choose from to ask you. that was also an hour and the third interview went well as well as far as click factor and questions i was asked.
i closed all of them for the job and the last two said that i had done a good job but would need to reconnect with quintilles for final go ahead. The first person said that they still needed to interview another few individuals after me---not a good sign----ugh.
Anyhow, overall a long process but not entirely brutal.
Everyone was there together waiting to be interviewed (first time i experienced that..interesting)
i was told there would be answers by the end of the week but was not clear on if they would contact everyone back or only the candidate that was moving ahead.

good luck!

Had my final today as well. Pretty much like the above post, process isnt too bad, been through worse. At least we are getting all done at one time, was also told would no something end of this week or early next week. I have a pharma job but my manager is a total idiot so I would even take a small cut in pay to get out so that is why I went through the process. Still think J&J is getting out cheap but in this ecomony they can get away with a contract force with NO car. Good Luck to those still to go forward.
 












I have never interviewed with a contract force before....did everyone get a w9 to fill out...i was not asked to leave it but it was in the packet of instructions when i was asked to move on to final?
 












Has anyone who went to final interview to date spoken with the quintiles manager? Have any offers gone out? Also, will they contact you via email if you did not move forward?

You will get a call from the Q manager the next morning letting you know if you made it or not.

I got a call today that I did not get the position so they are doing calls to let you know either way. Your recruiter should know at this point if you have had your 2nd iv's. My recruiter knew when I called to discuss the decision.
 






I interviewed on monday but have not heard. my question is: with three different managers interviewing and asking star questions how do they come to a consensus as to who the right and final candidte will be? Is there a scoring system that is in place with star type questions?
And which manager has the most influence; would it be the manager you would work for?

Lots to speculate about this whole process. We were told that they have a scoring system and the 3 mgrs where meeting to make a decision???? Also I think you had to also fit what Janssen is looking for just like any other company. I think the DM for my particular territory had the most influence of course. This particular DM did say that if they did not like either cadidate they would continue to look.
 






I went through this interview process. I was really excited at the thought of working on this contract. I had two interviews in one day with JnJ managers and the questions were very intense. Alot of strange situational questions and scutiny over everything! One manager asked me 10 questions about a job I had 8 years ago. Make sure you have a brag book with proven sales results..they are big on that. I did not get the job and was at first disappointed, but thinking about the way they treated their interviewers makes me NOT want to work for these people at all. They were obnoxious and condesending- for the money and the lack of car/gas card I think this job is going to be a huge nightmare...
