I had my first phone screening interview with Pfizer last Friday, just received 2nd interview invite, this time with HR again but camera on:) do you have any recommendations? Also I heard that Pfizer is laying off employees. So I don’t understand why they still hire?

What’s the role?

Firstly congratulations! Secondly, every company is always laying off and every company is always hiring. It depends on the needs of the company and the direction that the industry is going which triggers the way the company needs to grow so it could be that the area and which you work in needs support and need your specific expertise, but at the same time to save, they’re going to eliminate redundant workers and under performers due to business conditions hope this helps

Be careful and keep your options open

That could seem pretty antagonistic and might keep you out of consideration. I’d recommend not doing this.

Just applied for a Pfizer position two weeks ago, how long did it take for them to schedule the first interview? Curious if I’m already out or if there’s a chance

And congrats on getting the interview!

what types of questions did they ask in the panel interview?

Recommend wear a suit or equivalent even if it’s a webex interview.
