I applied online. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Daiichi Sankyo in Feb 2008
Interview
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!

Question 1
Was new to pharma so past experiences and how they would relate to pharma sales.
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Daiichi Sankyo in Sep 2015
Interview
Applied on their website careers page. Was emailed for an initial phone interview. The phone interview was about 30 minutes, asking about my experience, background. Seeing if I'm a good fit. He was Very friendly. After that was asked to do an in person interview with him at a local Panera since they are always on the road, he was very understanding about my location. Or else I would have had to drive to Annapolis for the interview. The interview At Panera went well. I got a call the following week and he said they could not hire anyone at the moment anymore because they were just going to restructure the company from within. And not have any new hires till the new year. So I was very disappointed in the lead up to this.

Question 1
Name a time when a customer was very upset, and how you handled it?
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Daiichi Sankyo (Philadelphia, PA) in Jul 2015
Interview
I applied online and received a phone call from the District Manager to set up a phone screen. The phone screen was scheduled for two days later with the DM and was fairly in depth. It felt like an initial face-to-face interview. After the phone interview, a face-to-face interview was scheduled for the following week. The questions in the face-to-face interview were easier than I anticipated. The District Manager felt my energy and passion was low and thus did not move me forward in the interview process. I received an e-mail from Daiichi two weeks later stated that they moved forward with another candidate.
