Behavioral Case Presentation Other

There were 4 interviews total. First was with the recruiter, then the hiring manager. After that, I met with the Regional Director and finally the National Sales Director. They used STAR format questions and there was also a role-play component. You should research the drug you will be selling and check out the competition too, it really helps.

Behavioral Technical

I talked to the recruiter on the phone, and then a few weeks later they had me fly out for an interview. It went really well. They told me to wait in the lobby for the results. I got called up and they told me I didn't make it to the next round. I grabbed my stuff and went home, watching all these other candidates get to stay. I met all the qualifications and nailed every question. I don't know why I didn't get the role, but the way they do things is humiliating. They do all their training online, but they fly you in just to reject you face-to-face. That's it for Syneos, I'm not interested.
