I applied online. I interviewed at Veeva Systems in Apr 2023
Interview
I was approached by a manager in the company and we had an initial conversation, after that, he told me there would be a home exam, I was given a week to prepare but no instructions to what I will be about. A week later I was given the exam, I had 45 minutes to do it and it was difficult.

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.
