I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Boehringer Ingelheim in Aug 2009
Interview
It was a series of three interviews, two with the hiring District Manager and the last with the Regional Director. The first two were typical interviews, lots of background questions and situations I had to give examples of from my previous positions. The final interview was basically a signing off on me as a candidate and while there were questions about my employment history and schooling, it was apparent that unless I was crazy the RD wouldn't be doing anything other than approving the DM to make you an offer.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
There wasn't anything difficult or out of the ordinary for a pharmaceutical interview. Lots of questions like "Give me an example of a time you were presented with an ethical situation. How did you handle it? What did you learn?"
