The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Forest Laboratories in Mar 2012
Interview
Phone interview- very basic. I made sure I knew product info and sales type questions that you would normally expect. However nothing was normal to me about this interview. It was mainly a personality test geared toward throwing you off and probing further past what information is normally acceptable in an interview.
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Forest Laboratories (Indianapolis, IN) in Jan 2015
Interview
Received a call for a phone interview within a week of applying. The interview was about 40 minutes long, and fairly easy. Met for an in-person interview at a hotel in Indy, which went well. I received a call a week later saying that they liked me, but had been put on a "hiring freeze" and they asked me to keep following up. Since they didn't like me enough to follow up with ME, I decided it was not the company for me.

Question 1
Very conversational - Gave me about a minute to prepare for a "mock" sales scenario
The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Forest Laboratories
Interview
Quick and easy. The hiring manager needed someone quick and we got along great. Mostly based on "gut" feelings. Not much negotiation room on salary or benefits if any. Was able to have the whole process completed in a week.

Application
I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Forest Laboratories (Houston, TX) in Oct 2014
Interview
I made it past the selection round and completed a lengthy exam. This was followed by a telephone interview, an interview with an account manager, an interview with two account managers, and a final interview with an account manager and a regional manager. Expect to make sales pitches, read scenarios, and get asked regular star questions. I did great up until my last interview. The regional manager was extremely rude, interrupted continuously, and made many snarky comments.
