I had a video interview for the Account Manager position in Edmonton. First, I had to complete an online assessment, and then I had the video interview. They were very clear about the questions they asked, no nonsense questions.

I've interviewed with Smith & Nephew 4 times for field sales roles, and honestly, it feels like they have a racial bias. It's hard to find people of color in their sales positions on LinkedIn. Each interview was brief, and I never got a chance to really show my skills or qualifications. I didn't make it to the next stage any of those times, even though I'm sure I have more sales experience than the person they ended up hiring. The medical device industry sometimes tells Black candidates they don't have a strong enough background, but then hires a white person straight out of college with little experience for the same job.

The process was terrible. The recruiter was incredibly rude, constantly criticizing my resume and interrupting me. It was the worst interview experience I've had. If a candidate's resume doesn't match what you're looking for, don't even bother scheduling an interview.
