The interview process went very well. I traveled to Swiftwater, PA and met with two employers. Then I met the director. I am currently in the interview process still.
I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Sanofi
Interview
I was invited by email to do an initial phone screen, which was like a mini phone interview with some STAR questions. I then had a phone interview with a district manager, with more open ended questions. Then I had a video interview with the manager of the program.
I applied online. The process took 6 months. I interviewed at Sanofi (Swiftwater, PA)
Interview
It started with a 30 minutes phone interview that was pretty easy. Asked what I would do if I had two clients on opposite sides of my area call me to cancel services. I waited for a month then was scheduled for two 1-hour Skype interviews. The first time this was scheduled nobody contacted me which was frustrating since I had used vacation time from work to do the interview. I never received an apology from the recruiters just a rescheduling for another month later. I was then flown out to the headquarters, taken around in a car service and was treated really well. Met with the director of the program and afterwards had a "low-key coffee chat" with an experienced rep. Frequently was asked to do a sales pitch for one of the vaccines. After using 3 vacation days and spending 6 months through the process I was not offered a position. The most frustrating part was getting interviewed and then not hearing anything for extended periods of time. Getting the job would mean moving across the country and I felt like I couldn't make any major decisions until I heard back so my life was basically on hold. Overall it wasn't a terrible experience but there could be improvements made to make the process more open.
