I applied online. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at Sanofi
Interview
Started off with a phone screening, followed by an interview with the hiring manager/other vaccine specialist and everything went well. After I moved forward in the process, I interviewed with two other district sales managers and they were very abrasive. The first thing I was told was that my “resume didn’t match the qualities they were looking for in this role” and that they were willing to listen to me defend myself. I was consistently interrupted and extremely apprehensive had I been chosen to move on.
