Interviewed Apr 2012 (took 2 weeks)
The first round was a phone interview that just asked standard behavior questions. When were you persuasive, what was your best achievement, why do you want to be in pharma sales? The gentlemen conducting the phone interview was very nice and easy to talk to you.

Interviewed Aug 2010 in Chattanooga, TN (took 2 weeks)
I had a phone interview with the recruiter that was very detailed probably taking an hour or more. Many questions from experience to personality questions. After meeting minimum qualifications that the contract required by the other Pharmaceutical company, then face to face interview was set up. The face to face was set up within 2 hours driving from my home. The interviewing manager is a really great man with a lot of pharmaceutical sales experience. Again, detailed questions on experience and personality, along with sales simulation.

Interviewed Apr 2009 (took 2 weeks)
Work culture was OK. The initial communication was via telephone. Recruiters can be slow to get back to you. Intensive phone screen, sometimes 2. One F2F if they are in a hurry. Two F2F interviews if time to fill a territory allows. The competetion is often fierce.

Very little room for negotiation. They go off of years in the field and previous employment. You might be able to negotiate a couple of grand MAX.

Interviewed Jul 2011 (took 4 months)
Contacted in November to assist in a consultative role. Asked to consider full time employment in April. This was followed by a series of additional meetings and discussions. Apparently an offer is being developed but it has taken over three months for this to actually materialize. As of mid-August, said offer is apparently awaiting final sign off from corporate.

Interviewed Jul 2010 in Somerset, NJ (took a day)
Must bring in a brag book/portfolio of acheivements. Then you will present the brag book to the interviewer. It is best to hold it and present as if it was a detail aid. Then you will be asked a couple of standard easy to b.s questions.
