I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at IQVIA (New York, NY) in Aug 2017
Interview
The interview process seemed to be moving fine until HR informed me that the Hiring Manager has requested an onsite interview. I was excited about the prospect of interviewing onsite and provided my availability to them. That is the last I heard from HR. Despite multiple attempts to contact her through phone, email, I did not get any response and did not understand why the process ended so abruptly despite getting a green signal for an onsite final round. If they had changed their mind regarding my candidacy, I would have appreciated an email saying they found someone better. This was very unprofessional and this experience has left a bad taste in my mouth.
I received the email notifying me that shortly after, I would receive instructions regarding the first round of interviews. However, I did not receive the instructions first; instead, I received the interview email directly, which was quite annoying.
3 rounds first with hiring manager then with a panel along with senior manager and finally a round/fit check with Principle followed by final discussion with HR. Technical round would include guesstimates followed by case study presentation
On-demand video assessment interview where you record your response -> Math&Logistics test -> case interview with a consultant (not a typical case; this is more focused on math and calculation)
