About Novo Nordisk
Novo Nordisk is a Danish multinational pharmaceutical company, with production facilities in 8 countries, and affiliates or offices in 75 countries. Their key products are diabetes care medications and devices.
Application process
The first part of the Novo Nordisk application is generally the same for all positions at the company: the online application form. Novo Nordisk is divided into four different branches: supply chain, finance, business management, marketing, and R&D.
After your application, Novo Nordisk usually conducts several online psychometric tests and often they will ask you to complete a personality test, and several aptitude tests provided by assessment publisher Saville.
In the next stage Novo Nordisk will usually invite the most suitable candidates for a telephone interview. Assessment-training.com offers more information about interviews. After you have successfully completed the telephone interview, Novo Nordisk will usually invite candidates to the Novo Nordisk Graduate Recruitment centre, which is the same as an assessment centre. This is usually a 3-day course involving presentations, case studies, group exercises, and interviews.
In the group exercise, Novo Nordisk usually briefs you on a problem related to the position you applied for. Subsequently, you will discuss this with your group members.
For the presentation exercise, you will usually also be briefed on a problem related to the position you are applying for. It is your task to prepare a short presentation for your assessors how to deal with such a problem.
In a case-study, you will usually be presented with a brief about a case, and you will be asked to come up with a plan of action or to solve a problem. This case is related to the job you are applying for. Thereafter, you will present your findings and recommendations to the Novo Nordisk assessors. Following this, they will ask you some questions about your findings. At Assessment-Training.com, you can practice and read more about successfully doing a case study.
