I applied online. I interviewed at Pfizer (Princeton, NJ)
Interview
brief n quick many question from the resume and many Q and A about your self and also will you be able to do the job at that location. i think the screen many candidates and keep in reserve due to high turnovers.I would suggest that you be yourself and be calm and go with the flow . If you have what you have then that should be fine for you to get in sales. Try doing mock interviews with friends and gauge you capabilities in answering Q n A. To me it was easy but for many it might be the first one so be prepared for a rapid fire just in case.
I applied online. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Pfizer (New York, NY) in Jan 2015
Interview
No outside screening
Hiring manager is first and last contact
Might interview with Regional
Applied online and heard from hiring manager day after closing day for that position
Very hard to determine what product they are recruiting
Knowledge of the product is nice to have for the face to face, but not required for 1st call from manager
Both positions I applied jobs, the manager called randomly and wanted to interview when answering the random call (I did allow for the phone interview both times manager called and did get the face to face both times).

I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Pfizer (San Jose, CA) in Dec 2015
Interview
I didn't have a phone screening. The Sales manager called me directly and asked me basic interview questions about my background and experience. The manager then asked me to join him with an in-person interview. The in-person interview was at a hotel - asked me basic interview questions to understand my background, then had me do a mock - sales visit with a doctor. I was asked to come back to sit down with another sales manager, then the declined the position.
