      Sales Representative Interview

      16 Apr 2012
      Anonymous interview candidate
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Alcon in Feb 2012

      Interview

      Recruiter called me and thought I would be perfect for the postion. They continued with a 1/1 with territory manager. Interview went fantastic, great manager and the job sounded perfect. I didn't hear back from recruiter/manager for two weeks. They contacted me for the 2nd interview which went perfectly. I was flown to meet the regional manager for final interview. First off I waited over 2 hours, they forgot about our interview time, I was headed back to the airport before the manager came out and apolozied. I decided to stay for interview and they booked me a later flight. The interview was pretty rough. It was hard to read how it went because the regional manager was blank and really didn't let me be me or ask a lot of questions. I went back to the airport and my new flight was not booked, I waited another hour so they could fix it bc Alcon reserved it but didn't pay for it. I barely was able to board my plane. I wrote a follow up email right away, thanking them. I didn't hear back after week one, I sent another email and called manager to see what was going on. NOTHING. I contacted the recruiter, she had no knowledge that they even flew me out for the final interview. She was not happy because I should have been notiflied or her. She proceeded to contact Alcons HR and they didn't know anything either. One month after my second interview, I still didn't hear from the manager and the recriuter said, "just take it as a no." I went above and beyond, I felt I deserved to know why.

      I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Alcon in Apr 2017

      Interview

      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.
