I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Bristol Myers Squibb in Aug 2009
Interview
Initially was contacted by internal recruiter for the open position. Performed phone screen and interviewed 2 months later after a new district manager was put in place. I was interviewed by the hiring manager and another district manager. The interview was very laid back and both individuals were casually dressed. I prepared by studying the products and background of the company. My experience was good, even though I was not given an offer. However, the communication after the interview was lacking on their part. I was told that I would be notified of my status within the next 2 weeks and after a month of no communication and no response to my follow up emails, I found out that they offered the position to another candidate from a colleague.
