I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at IQVIA (Plymouth Meeting, PA) in Apr 2019
Interview
It was a two month long process starting from the recruiter to getting the final decision after my onsite round in plymouth meeting. They initially started with a round where they got to know more about my background and projects, next i was asked about pharma/healthcare, then what datasets i have worked with and in what capacity, Tableau, Alteryx and Excel were tested live through screen share. In the end it was another excel and case test onsite.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
A lot about the pharma experience and behavioral fit questions.
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)
