I applied online. I interviewed at Servier (Mississauga, ON) in Nov 2016
Interview
They asked a lot of questions to see whether I am fit for the tough sales environment. The base salary here is low at $60,000. They did not do a good job selling the position as they talked about a lot of negatives of the role such as driving alone for long hours, lots of rejection by GPs. Do your research and make sure that you have examples of how you are/will be an aggressive sales person. I felt the interviewer's attitude was very negative towards me ie he thought I was inexperienced and not fit for sales.
This is an OK place to start your career in pharmaceutical sales, however do move on to other bigger companies when you have more experience. There is not much room for growth here as it is a small company and they do not have corporate offices anywhere other than the Laval.

Very professional and respectful. Interview questions were very demanding and hard, but that's to be expected from a company with a significant reputation in the pharmaceutical sector. Questions were mostly aimed at past experience.

I applied online. The process took 5 months. I interviewed at Servier in Feb 2017
Interview
The process consisted of 4 interviews. It was over a period of 5 months. After selection it took 2 months to be given a start date. That should have foreshadowed the way that the company works, they are slow in paying out bonuses and there are some communication issues that exist
