I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Cook Medical Inc (Houston, TX)
Interview
Great communication. Emails and phone calls were prompt and to the point. They were flexible and understanding it could be hard to break away from a current job for phone calls. The position was in a different state and the timeframe to make it there by air made it an issue. Three days notice drastically altered the ticket price (of which they did not offer to pick up the tab). Bad taste in my mouth from that.

Question 1
If offered the position, what would you bring to the team that we currently don't have? While this seems like a softball, with out knowing the backgrounds of other clinical specialist, you just sound like a "me too". Maybe i over was over thinking it.
Interview process was okay and went through normal questions. This interview was given by a panel of people. The overall vibe seemed pretty chill. I thought I did really well and thought I secured a position. They took a while to get back to me.
