      Professional Healthcare Representative Interview

      Oct 21, 2015
      Anonymous employee
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 7 weeks. I interviewed at Pfizer in Sep 2015

      Interview

      My interview experience with Pfizer was very positive. They maintained consistent communication with me every step of the way, and I feel like the process was streamlined maybe even a little bit faster then normal due to the hiring manager and the connection I had with him. Before I interviewed with Pfizer I read countless reviews and interview experiences on Glassdoor, so I feel it’s only fitting to return the favor with the details of my own experience: Day 1 – Found the job listing on Glassdoor and applied Day 3 – Received thank you email from Pfizer for applying Day 13 – Received invitation via email to do a digital interview Day 14 – Completed digital interview online. All prerecorded questions & timed answers into web camera. Typical pharma interview questions Day 22 – Received email from hiring DM requesting a phone interview later in the week Day 24 – Completed 45 minute phone interview with hiring DM. Very conversational with a couple of behavioral questions Day 25 – Filled out online employment application Day 26 – Received invitation for a face-to-face interview. Also filled out background verification forms Day 32 - Face–to-face interview with hiring DM and another DM. STAR questions. Very typical but also very comfortable Day 33 – Received invitation to interview with RM Day 38 – Interview with RM. Even more in depth STAR questions and a bit more discerning/probing feel to the interview. Still very positive though Day 40 – Received verbal offer. Offer was accepted and more background checks & drug test scheduled with Pfizer’s third party vendor Day 50 – Background check & drug screen results received by Pfizer. Official start date confirmed. I see that Pfizer scores "Average" on their interview difficulty. I spent many days preparing for my face-to-face interviews, putting together my brag book and while I walked away from each of them feeling confident and that the experience was straightforward, comfortable, etc I would rate the interview process as Difficult simply because it's very thorough. You have to know your stuff. Like anything else, the better you know the company and the better you know yourself (work history, behaviors, attitude), the better you're going to do. But don't take it lightly. The more you prepare the better the experience will be.

      Cincinnati, OH
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Pfizer (Cincinnati, OH) in Jun 2019

      Interview

      Extremely organized and streamlined interview process. Incredibly impressed! I applied online and heard back about 2-3 weeks later. First interview was a video interview through HireVue asking a series of situational-based questions. I would recommend practicing since you only have one chance to record your answer. Second interview was a phone interview with the hiring manager. Resume walk through and a series of situational-based questions. Third interview was an in-person with the hiring manager with another series of situational-based questions. Final round interview was a phone interview with the regional manager. Resume walk through and a few situational-based questions. Ask for the job! Overall, positive experience. In total, about a 2 month process.
