I applied through other source. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Alcon (Fort Worth, TX) in Aug 2015
Interview
Phone interview with recruiter, IMeet conference with DM, then face-to-face with DM. The process took about two and a half months. The DM decided to go with someone with more pharma sales experience- which took the majority of the time for me to find out because my recruiter quit the company and noone knew what was going on. All aside- Alcon is a great company with a lot of opportunity, especially since partnering with Novartis.
