Interviewed Sep 2009 (took 4+ weeks)
Started with a phone screening then face to face scheduled for week or two later. Then 3 group interviews with local district manager and another district manager from nearby for three days after one another. Was called each evening to set up next day interview. Next had two one on one interviews within a weeks time. Was called day later that I had made it to the final interview where I would go to regional office to sit down with regional manger. Day after returning from trip I was told by manager I got the job and would start the next week.

Interviewed Jan 2012 (took 2 weeks)
Interview process moved fairly quickly. Had to do a "mock sales call" during the second interview. Be sure to have a brag book with all your documented success' and have STRONG sales experience under your belt. KNOW THEIR COMPANY! Know their products and also their history.

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 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.

Interviewed Feb 2008 (took 1+ week)
The interview process was quick and to the point - I was not haggled around or put off like a lot of companies did. I applied online, did a phone interview the following week, was scheduled for a DM interview that week and before I made it home was called back for an RM interview. Shortly before arriving home for that, I was called with an offer. I wish all companies were that easy to deal with!

Interviewed Jul 2009 (took 3 months)
Conducted 2 phone interviews. 1st was with Human Resources and then next one was with Hiring Manager. After that, I had a face to face with Hiring Manager. 2nd face to face was with Hiring Manager and another manager. Final interview was conducted at Regional Headquarters with Regional Director. The entire process seemed to take a long time, but the Hiring Manager did keep me updated.

Negotiation Details
There was some wiggle room for negotiation on salary. They bring new hires in rated on 1 of 2 salary levels. From there, you have the opportunity to increase your base salary in 18 months. This increase is dependent on your performance and sales during your 1st year.
