I applied in-person. I interviewed at Altria (Atlanta, GA) in Dec 2012
Interview
1) Initial "cattle call" job fair with brief get to know couple of questions such as why do you want to work with us, why are you a good candidate, and your background/any questions for the interviewer bit.
2) Phone interview: tell us about yourself, situational questions (how did you handle so and so that was negative, we are thinking of changing this product -what are your thoughts and why), and a time where candidate can ask questions about the position, etc.
3) Face to face interview -was with 3 people (future mgr and 2 HR? folks -none gave business cards or contact information?). Bring resume's as they will ask for it. They ask why you are a superior candidate and again ask situational questions, how you handled so and so, why, and the outcome. They also asked to describe a time when you studied data and put the subsequent knowledge to use...even if you've not done this, construct something and have a story ready as they REALLY seem to want this.
My final thoughts are that it appears that they are looking for younger folks with little or no "sales" skills/background that they can mold, which is not necessarily a bad thing -but overlooking someone a little older and seasoned in how to act in a social situation and in what they say and how they say it is a big mistake.

I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Altria
Interview
Step one consisted of a "screen interview" with two company employees (Territory Sales Manager and District Manager). Step two was a "panel interview" with three employees (Territory Sales Manager, Unit Manager and District Manager). Third step was a "day in the field interview" with a Territory Sales Manager and a Unit Manager.
I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Altria (Warner Robins, GA) in Jan 2018
Interview
The overall process was very long and drawn out. There is a significant lack of communication and you are strung along for a few months all for nothing. To make it to the final third stage and then not even get a personal call telling you that you didn't receive an offer is a bit cold in my opinion. The interview process isn't pleasant.
