I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at GlobalData (London, England) in May 2021
Interview
The interview process had 4 stages whereby the first was a screening question stage, followed by a telephone interview to which an assessment would proceed, leading to the final stage of a zoom call with the hiring manager and their manager. I had got to the second stage of the interview and had a long call with the hiring manager in which I was asked many questions about my experience, my current line of work, and technical questions surrounding healthcare analysis. The interviewer repeatedly told me that my answers were ‘hitting the nail on the head’ and that I was responding in a way that they deemed correct and knowledgeable. I was then told by the recruiter a couple of days later that the interviewer did not want to proceed with my application with no feedback whatsoever. I found this surprising as I was under the impression the interview went well and the interviewer themselves were happy with me. Instead this was just “hope” sold to me and the fact there was no feedback was even worse from Global Data’s side.

I applied online. I interviewed at GlobalData (London, England) in Feb 2026
Interview
Initially I applied for Automation Developer role(Python + VBA + Power BI) and 3 rounds of interview were done on technical aspects related to the role. Then after two weeks I was informed that the scope of the role has changed will focus more towards analysis side( clinical trial aspect). I had a call with the director regarding the same and she made me understand about the scope very clearly and I found it as an opportunity to get exposure within Healthcare domain. However one thing that pushed me back was the compensation part. Since the role being evolved and has responsibilities on the business side as well I thought the numbers would increase however it was on the other side and offered less pay compared to what the current market is paying for that role. I was but disappointed on that side.
