Had a couple interviews before the final one. First was with HR, just a quick standard interview. Then I had an hour-long chat with the area manager. The last interview was a panel with a bunch of the decision makers, that went on for like 2 hours.

Behavioral Presentation Technical
The interview process felt a bit all over the place. I had an initial screening call with two different people. Then it went quiet for a few weeks before I was asked for a face-to-face meeting the next day. This in-person interview was pretty relaxed and casual. The hiring manager mentioned everyone interviews differently, and her focus was on how well a candidate would fit with the current team. After almost two hours, I was invited for a third interview with the regional manager.
Confirmed questions2 questions
- Be ready to talk about the products and know the clinical studies because you'll be given three details you've never seen before and have 5 minutes to study, then you'll have to do a 2 minute highlight for each.
- Have a 30-60-90 day plan ready, though you might not need it.
