I applied in-person. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Alcon (Bettendorf, IA)
Interview
There was an initial phone screen then several face to face interviews. The face to face interviews are usually with the hiring manager and possibly with another district manager in order for them to get a second opinion. Along the process there will be a field ride along with a local rep or two. The final interview is usually with the Regional Manager down in Fort Worth, Tx.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Alcon

Zuerst ein telefonisches Interview mit HR (sanity check), dann die 2te Runde mit HR & Line Managern und dann nochmal einen erarbeiteten business case vorstellen. Spontanes Rollenspiel zu potentiellen Kundengesprächen mit den Produkten. Sprachkenntnisse werden geprüft.

Long, it took about 2 months, but the the hiring manager was great. Great interactive interviewing style and always kept me up to date on the process. I didn't have to do a presentation, but I know that most managers make you sell an organic wine.
