I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Veeva Systems in Aug 2021
Interview
Recruiter I was working with was confused. Couldn't decide wether they need me for front-end or backend role. Anyway after going for 4 rounds and acing through all of them I got a reject saying they found someone with more experience. I had good time interviewing with engineers.
1st round - Chat with recruiter
2nd round - Met with senior engineer. Coding exercise on coder pad.
3rd round - Met with another senior engineer went over front end coding exercise.
4th round - Met with senior director. He was very interested in my past. (I think something similar mentioned on some previous post)
5th round - Met with VP of engineering. Went over a small database design question.
Rejected at the end.
Applied through university job board. HR round was brief - asked about career aspirations and which team I'd want to join. Never heard back from them after the first round.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Why did I choose my major, what team would I like to join, etc.
I applied online. I interviewed at Veeva Systems (Toronto, ON)
Interview
Applied for a Canadian role. Was interviewed by a US-based recruiter who does not understand Canadian employment law. I hold an open work permit (which requires zero employer sponsorship or cost), but the recruiter explicitly rejected me on the call, stating they 'only hire Citizens or PRs to avoid sponsorship.'
I applied online. I interviewed at Veeva Systems (London, England) in Mar 2026
Interview
Applied online, then offered online interview.
The interviewer seemed completely disengaged through the whole process, and never even hinted at a smile once. It was a real shame and a waste of an hour - I should've stopped 15 minutes in to be honest.
Kept asking questions and re-asking the same ones 5 minutes later. Going off and back on camera. His attitude wasn't selling it, and him telling me the company was "overly American and intense" wasn't helping either.
