I applied online. I interviewed at Otsuka (Princeton, NJ) in Nov 2018
Interview
Onsite, 5 people on panel, 5 hours total
Good: nice reception, that’s about it
Con: interview team had no clue what are they interviewing for. They probably saw my resume first time then. Completely uncoordinated. The scheduler has no clue that couple of people are remote
HRBP was a joke. She was as stoic as anyone could be, limp handshake no eye contact and worse no smile! It seemed they all are without life. No mention about culture or leadership from the hrbp
Hiring manager was good; he knew his stuff.
Oh, come with your lunch box. They don’t offer lunch or anything even if you are in for all day interview

I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Otsuka (Princeton, NJ) in Feb 2026
Interview
I was referred to the role and put through the standard process starting with a phone interview with the recruiter responsible for filling the role. The interaction was not particularly engaging and if felt like going through the motions. Although I answered all questions based on being highly qualified for the role when the call ended, I had already made up my mind I would not pursue the role and let the recruiter know in a follow-up e-mail.
I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Otsuka (Rockville, MD) in Jan 2024
Interview
It was more interviews than what I had expected, but very nice people at all levels of the company (at least that I met). Unique culture - was glad to have met so many and also felt more confident accepting the offer
