I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at IQVIA in Mar 2022
Interview
2 rounds
1 telephone interview with a recuriter and one round with 4 interviewers
1 compentency interview 2 cases, 1 round of ACE interview
usual questions and some difficult questions when not prepared
did not get the offer when I though I would. Comments from one of the interviewers were harsh particularlily with Case interview.
It seems that intrervier did not aware that it is a interviwer led case interview but he was expecting candidate to make a start and ask questions. However, then he made the comments that candidate needed many hints to solve the case. So bit confusing here
The Interview process consisted of three rounds.
1. The first round was a short call with recruitment/HR representative. It was a straight-forward discussion on my background, my motivation. I also had the chance to ask about the company specifically.
2. The second round was a case study. It was a classical interviewer-led case study involving market sizing question, business strategy, brainstorming and final recommendation.
3. The final round consisted of three different interviews. The first one was a business case study (similar to the second round). The second one was a personal fit interview, where we had more time to deep dive into my motivations. My research and knowledge of the company was also assessed. The last element was a written case study, I had to put a presentation together based on provided data.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1

Initial interview was with the recruiter with the typical recruitment questions, this was followed by numerical and verbal assessments, then interview with Principal regarding relevance of previous work experience, followed up by business case study assessments.
