I started with a screening call, then had a direct video call with the hiring manager about a day later. The tone felt urgent, as if they were trying to fill the need quickly. During that conversation, I realized the main gap: I did not have pharma domain knowledge, and my background was in finance rather than testing in regulated or pharma settings.
The recruiter and manager conversations were straightforward. When we discussed fit, the hiring-manager feedback came down to that mismatch, and I could tell they did not see my experience as directly applicable. The interviewer was respectful and kind, though. She took time to share guidance on how to think about my career path. I did not make it past that point, and it left me feeling that domain fit, rather than my general QA mindset, drove the decision.
Location: Toronto, ON. Overall feedback: positive. Offer status: no offer.
