Interview Preparation Tips

Interview preparation tips for other job seekers - The HR was very accommodating and helpful which I really liked, but the interviewers themselves in the first round (FP&A Leads) were downright rude and obnoxious. An interview is an opportunity for both to see if the other is a good fit but it was very one-sided with very less opportunity for me to even ask questions. They were even too curious about my personal background which honestly made me uncomfortable. Did get selected the next round but my decision was already made even if I was through.

The 2nd round was much better with more respect shown. A lot more behavioral and regarding your experiences, your day to day work.

Interview Preparation Tips

Interview preparation tips for other job seekers - To start with my background, i have a good number of experience with some of the top notch MNC’s. It was two months back i had an opportunity to sit for an interview with Novonordisk. The panel was highly disrespectful, insulting and very egoistic who neither knows on how to lead an interview.
It was Ashwini K and Yukti Agarwal who took my interview. I felt them intentionally trying to bully and insult me for each point that i speak right from the beginning of the interview. These happened once they got to know of my salary expectation, which was a standard 35% of my CCTC, which was agreed by the HR before the call was scheduled. The interview didn’t start with any kind of formal introduction from their side, instead the first point they started with asking my CCTC and my ECTC post which the insulting session started.
I wouldn’t suggest anyone reading this to sit for an interview with Novo Nordisk if its with the same panel. Questions asked was very irrelevant to the role and it felt very intentional. I would especially like to highlight Ashwini K’s behaviour to be very casual and unprofessional, and her knowledge is very limited.
I am glad that i have withdrawn myself in advance than proceeding further with my candidature with Novonordisk as i believe currently i am in a much better place than being in a company that doesn’t know to respect its people.

Interview Preparation Tips

Interview preparation tips for other job seekers - Never miss opportunities from Novo Nordisk, I got offor from Deloitte, Cisco and EY along with Novo Nordisk, some had better salary than what I got in Novo Nordisk. However, in all those interviews and across all the rounds, only in Novo Nordisk did I find the best panelist yet. I mean the way they were talking, behaving was very friendly and you look forward to work there.

I joined with my guy feeling and I am not disappointed at all !
