Candidate interview experiences
First-hand accounts from people who interviewed at Pfizer.
Sales Representative
It was a smooth and quick interview process. I got to meet many people at the company. The whole thing felt professional and they were flexible too. The questions they asked were situational and relevant to being a sales rep. I really liked the company culture and the people I met.
- Can you discuss your background and explain how it connects to the responsibilities of this role?
Sales Representative
We had 3 interviews, it was a pretty good process. The interviewers were friendly but they were fair. The interview experience was reflective of what it's like to work at Pfizer. There's a lot of focus on DEI initiatives there, and that's been the case for over 20 years. That's something to consider if you plan to work there for more than a couple of years.
- Can you tell me about your educational background?
Outside Sales Representative
For a specialty division focused on rheumatology, I was asked to do a sales pitch. The interview included a regional manager and a district manager. It was a low-pressure, conversational setting. My prior experience in specialty sales was beneficial.
- Can you share an example of a difficult situation you faced and how you handled it?
- Tell me about a challenging situation and your resolution.
- Describe a tough spot you were in and how you got out of it.
