Behavioral Technical Coding
It was a 2 stage process, starting with an HR screening. Then, a Manager & TL interview where they asked standard data-related questions and a fit part. There was also an Excel test covering xlookups, regextracts, pivot tables, data cleanup, and basic formula checks. A notable part of the Excel test was standardizing 'simmilar' cell values that were formatted differently (like text vs. number).

Behavioral Presentation
First there was a recruiter screen, then a pre-recorded interview where I had to answer some prompts. After that, I had a hiring manager screen, followed by an interview with the hiring manager and a senior sales consultant. The fourth stage was a meeting with surgeons, but I didn't get to that point because I realized the geography for the role wasn't a good fit for me.

Met with 4 territory managers over lunch for a group interview that lasted about 4-5 hours. Included a saw bones lab working with one of their products. The environment was very relaxed, but they were looking for candidates who are very serious about the commitment.

Behavioral Case Presentation
The interview process started with a 30-minute call with the Regional Sales Manager. It was a casual chat to get to know each other, discuss your knowledge about trauma, and why you'd be a good fit. The second round was in person, continuing the conversational style with situational questions. For the final round, they sent over some of their products and clinical studies, and I had to prepare a presentation about a type of injury and the pros and cons of different treatment options. After the presentation, there were more formal questions.
