Pretty strenuous, but seemingly standard for pharma. 4- 2 hour interviews with various DM’s and trainers. Mock role play selling a Pharma product on the second interview. Bring resume and brag book to interview.
I applied online. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at AbbVie
Interview
Started off by speaking with a recruiter for a quick screen for 30 minutes. After that, was moved along to an interview with a regional director (district manager spot wasn’t filled) and then had the opportunity to speak with the manager once she was hired.
Let me first start by saying I have nothing but respect for AbbVie and know they value their employees. However, I left this process feeling disrespected and am now apprehensive about applying in the future. There was essentially no communication coming from the recruiter/regional manager, was told I’d be moving on in the process and was told next steps, then told after another long break of no communication that the job was filled. I would’ve much rather been told I’m not selected than have been hung out to dry like this.
