Background Check
Please describe the interview / hiring process.
**Initial Steps + Phone Screen**
I found out about the Job via networking/informational interviews, and casually mentioning that I was looking for a role in the Commercial Side of the Pharmaceutical Business. I was immediately referred to the Hiring Manager who met with me 1-on-1 the next morning. He explained the role in slightly more detail and gave me the Req. ID to apply online, and said he'd be looking for my application. I had a phone screen 2 days later, after which an internal recruiter contacted me to schedule an interview for the next week.

**Group Interview**
This role is incentive compensation, and lies within the "Sales Operations" Group of the firm. I met with 5 people in total, 1 after the other: Director of Sales Effectiveness, Incentive Compensation Sr. Analyst, VP of Sales, Hiring Manager (Dir. of Incentive Compensation), and the Sr. Director of Sales Operations. The interview began with technical, analytics based questions focused mainly on excel, then moved into more "personality" and "working style" type questions (how do you handle multiple #1 priorities, how do you handle multitasking, how are you with deadlines, etc.), and finished with career aspirations, and standard interview questions (tell me about a time you had to work with someone difficult, whats your biggest weakness, etc).

**Follow-Up**
It took almost a month to get me a final offer in written form, due to administrative issues. The offer was contingent on a drug test and background verification, which took approximately 1 week to finish.
