Getting Hired Here
- “Firm interviews through several rounds. Usually you'll know if you passed a round within a week. Interview can be either a case study or a fit interview, or potentially a mix of both. You may have one or two interviewers at a time.”
- “The interview process seeks to identify individuals who come from a wide range of backgrounds (not just the life sciences, if anything it's more diverse than other companies I have heard of that look for specific majors), and a key part is finding individuals who would fit and contribute to company culture. The first-round interview is made up of behavioral questions and a practice case, which is what the final round is like, just more in depth. I really enjoyed the interview process and it was important to me that Putnam asked a lot of behavioral questions. In my opinion this meant they were interested in identifying not only smart people, but people whose values align with the company.”
- “Ideal candidate should be interested in healthcare, and should not be looking to make a quick exit to medical school. Callback process is not entirely regulated, but recruiting is attempting to streamline the process more.”
- “My interview process was the most enjoyable one when I did recruiting. I felt that the Putnam interviewers genuinely wanted to get to know me as candidate and see if I was the right fit for them. Glad it worked out!”
- “The entry level interviews consist of a case and behaviors interview followed by a final day with two cases and three behavioral aspects. We are looking for critical thinkers who have a passion for healthcare. Our interview process is about evaluating how you think on your feet and your interest in the work we do.”
