Interviewed Jan 2009 in Washington, DC (took 4+ weeks)
Used a recruiter specializing in JMO placements. Started off with a phone interview, then face to face which reviewd the phone interview answers and then went more into detail of employment background, why Pfizer? Interviewer seemed pre-occupied, smartphone on vibrate constantly was going off. Overall the DM was very professional, but seemed very up-tight.

Reason for Declining
Offer was given, chose to decline due to the current debacle the company is going through, weak pipeline, and sales force numbers have varied quite a bit over the pass 5 years
Other Details
The interview consisted of a Phone Interview, a 1:1 Interview, a Personality Test, a Drug Test and a Background Check.

Interviewed Mar 2008 in Kansas City, MO (took a day)
Horrible experience, 2 territory managers interviewed me, were extremely condescending and very inappropriate for an interview. More appropriate for a bar atmosphere. Left me with a horrible impression of the entire company. Will never apply for a position there in the future.

Interviewed Dec 2009 in San Francisco, CA (took 2 weeks)
Applied through a Monster.com posting and was contacted by a recruiting agency. There was one phone interview with recruiter who passed on the resume to the Pfizer District Manager. There was one thirty minute phone interview with the District Manager with basic background questions. Then there was a face to face interview with the District Manager held in a hotel conference room for an hour. This delved into hypothetical questions about how to be persuasive, and detailed questions on past projects and why I was interested in a sales position. They seemed to be most interested in past sales experience, which I was lacking.

Interviewed Mar 2010 (took 4 weeks)
The guy was riding me! I'm a recent grad and he asks what i'd been doing since finishing school. When I responded "traveling" he said, "but you're unemployed! with what money are you TRAVELING with!" he also said with a sneer of mock, "you didn't put yourself through school?" etc... he obviously wanted to know whether or not i'm self-sufficient. I kept gracious and left the interview feeling absolutely defeated. I never flinched over the entire duration of the interview, but I did feel pretty crappy....but about a half hour after the interview ended, I was given a call and offered another interview.

Interviewed Oct 2007 in Chicago, IL (took 2 weeks)
Phone interview went well. No hard questions. General interview questions. Know the company and be able to respond using STAR responses. Was told within 48 hours that I had been moved to the next round of interviews. It has been almost two years and I haven't heard anything, but it's ok because I'm no longer interested in that field. I just thought it was pretty unprofessional to tell me someone would be calling me with the next interview time and they never did.
