Typical process with multiple rounds of interviews and a presentation on a scientific topic of choice. First interaction was with the recruiter, and then a hiring manager. These were followed by a few interviews with other MSLs in individual and group settings. Also interviewed with the regional and national director.

Question 1
Tell me about a time you faced a difficult situation and how did you handle it?
Took about 5 weeks.... video interview.... then recruiter interview.... followed by hiring manager.... then the panel and finally the presentation where usually the final applicants make it to. Overall to the point and average timeline.
