I applied online. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Thermo Fisher Scientific (Pittsburgh, PA) in Aug 2016
Interview
I applied through the Thermo Fisher Scientific company website and was contacted by HR recruiter within one week requesting a phone interview. I completed a 1/2 hour phone interview with the HR recruiter with basic qualifying questions about my sales experience. Within two weeks of my phone interview I was invited and partook in a face to face interview with four hiring sales managers at the location where I would be working. The interview lasted about 50 minutes and everyone was warm and welcoming. About one week later, I received and email inviting me onto the next steps which were two more phone interviews, one with Director of Sales (regional) and one with HR Generalist. Each of these phone interviews lasted about 30 minutes and I answered interview questions regarding my sales experience and expertise in each. Within approximately 10 days I received offer during a scheduled phone call with recruiter and accepted the position.
