Interviewed May 2011 in Parsippany, NJ (took a day)
First the company calls you for a phone screening to see if you are intelligent enough for the position by asking question about Java and OOP. Once you pass the phone interview, you will meet with two IT directors and they will ask you a lot of Java questions. For example, what is the different between private, public. and protected?
Interview Questions
Reason for Declining
The compensation was very little.
Other Details
I Applied Online and the interview consisted of a Phone Interview and a Group/Panel Interview.

Interviewed Nov 2011 (took 4+ weeks)
Initial phone interview after employee referral. Ran through experience and some basic sales results. Asked on phone for follow up interview and agreed.
Face to face interview with hiring manager. Lasted 2 hours and very thorough. Went through resume piece by piece and every part of my brag book. Good opportunity to display every success and skill I had. Quite a draining interview but felt very confident when asked to be involved in next stage. After 2 weeks of not hearing anything emailed DM and received auto response that they were moving on with other candidates. Found this quite frustrating as had interviewed very well, had strong sales experience in the TA and results to back it up. Really wanted genuine feedback.
(At the face to face interview I was told the next steps if i were selected would be a day in field on territory, followed by another interview. Then if they were still interested a final round interview at Regional HQ in Arizona before an offer was made)
Interview Questions
What do you know about the specific territory you will be working on?
What do you know about the US healthcare industry?
How do you manage your day?

Interviewed Oct 2011 (took 5 days)
Quick process from initial phone interview to 1:1. I was told would be contacted either way if moving on to interview Regional Manager. Of course, as usual, did not happen. After one week, called recruiter back and she had no idea what was going on and she seemed a little confused. They were moving fast in the beginning but still no decision 3 weeks later. Finally received e-mail communication that was not moving on to next round. Don't think anything has been done since position is still listed on sites. Not sure they know what they are looking for. To credit the manager, was very interesting to talk to and knew pharma, just not sure knew what he wanted.

Interviewed Aug 2011 in Tallahassee, FL (took 2 weeks)
I recently phone interviewed with the regional manager. The interview took about 20 minutes and pretty much went over my resume and was asked a couple situational questions. While on the phone I was scheduled for a face to face interview with the RM.

Interviewed Jun 2009 in Parsippany, NJ (took a day)
Extremely poor interview process
HR managers did not explain the band level ( grade ) system during the interview until the final offer letter was offered. HR managers did not know how to measure 15 years of IT experience and provide fair band (grade) system, even after background check was done for each past employers of mine.
I feel extremely suffocated everyday going to work with watching employees and colleagues with same experience or even less experience have been assigned HIGHER band (grade) level within the company.
Negotiation Details
extremely poor
Very poor compensation package.
HR Manager had very poor knowledge about the market rate about the IT positions.
Other Details
I got the interview through a Recruiter and the interview consisted of a Phone Interview, a Skills Test, a Drug Test and a Background Check.

Interviewed Mar 2010 in Parsippany, NJ (took a day)
4 interviews back to back with director, senior director, HR, and executive director. Not sure they knew what they wanted in a candidate, one wanted more of a marketer and another wanted more of a medical person and neither seemed happy with a hybrid. Leadership is a big deal and they take their time vetting candidates to ensure a corporate "fit". Great office location right by a Hilton and easy access from roads.

Interviewed May 2011 in New York, NY (took a day)
I was an employee referral. They were very unorganized, and asked me to come interview at the last minute. I did not interview wth the people they said I would interview with. I never received a call back. I did not do very well on the interview because it was so last minute and rushed. Their salary is lower than average, although their bonus is supposed to be much higher. I just did not have a good feeling. However my friend who referred me, loves working for the company. It was not a right fit for me. I was disappointed I did not a get phone call sayng they have moved on since I was an employee referral. However i understand that is difficult at times.
