You first get an HR phone interview, then it proceeds to an interview with the direct manager. If they like you, the next step is you are given a basic pharmacology book and 24 hours to read it. They give you a test of about 50 questions and you have to score a 95% to pass. Then you are asked to submit to a background check and drug test.
