One phone screening, one interview with the hiring manger, a panel interview, and an interview with higher leadership. The process lasts at least 2 months, the reason is because they already have a pre-selected internal candidate. They will drag you along the whole process, only to let you know there was a strong internal candidate. J&J will prefer internal candidates over external, most roles have been already filled internally.

I was contacted about 2 weeks after submitting my application online. Spoke with the recruiter and she gave some good information and guidance on the process. The same day I received an email from the hiring manager to discuss the role but via phone instead of their standard Teams meeting. The phone call was about 45 minutes long, however, I was not asked much which leads me to believe this was a filler interview and they already had a candidate in mind. I followed up a week later and never heard anything. It’s was disappointing to be ghosted by a company like this.
