It was a three interview process. First was with HR, second with the manager, and the third was a panel. The last interview involved presenting a deck with new ideas for the CSR program. After each interview, there was a check-in with HR. Salary questions were only to be directed to HR, and there was no room for negotiation.

I applied online and got a call about a week later for a chat about the position, and we scheduled a formal phone interview. When the interview time came, they didn't call me, so I called them back the next day, but no one picked up. A few days later, I finally heard back and they asked to do the phone interview then and there. It was pretty chill, asking about my background and the job, and to bring questions because they make up most of the interview. At the end, they invited me to Minnesota for a Sales Combine/interview the following weekend. This was a bummer. After a 7-hour drive, I got to the new Mayo Clinic facilities, which were really nice. I thought the sales combine would be a job overview, meeting people, and interviews. But it was actually about 6 hours of training, a quick lunch, a short tour, then two hours of actual sales pitching where we had to sell tickets on the phone, which I thought was a bit weird as they only told us about this an hour before. None of the about 10 candidates sold the $500 ticket package. Then came the interview, which they crammed into the last half hour with myself and three other candidates, asking only two questions. I don't like group interviews, but this was super awkward. At this point, me and another candidate were ready to leave. Plus, the culture felt really cliché.
