Candidate-reported interview process
They don't tell you everything about the process, like who you're talking to between the recruiter and the hiring manager. If you don't get picked, they just disappear and don't give any feedback or reason. It's really rude and not professional.
Typical pharmaceutical sales interview experience. They ask situational questions in every round. You'll have 4 rounds of interviews with managers. Make sure you have a 30,60,90 day plan ready to discuss. All interviews were conducted over Zoom video because of the pandemic.
It was a 3 step interview. First a phone call, then an in person interview, and finally an interview at the corporate office. It was typical for pharma interviews. Research the products you would be selling and be ready to talk about them.
