Very Rude HR response.
First round interviewer was rude and didn't come across enthusiastic or positive about working there. Also did not give a good impression regarding work life balance which were big red flags, compared to the atmosphere from competitor companies.
Reiterating a previous review - very unclear whether it it was interviewer or interviewee led case study! I received a negative response when I asked a simple clarifying question, as the interviewer left out key pieces of information.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Why healthcare consulting
What makes you an ideal candidate
It was well rounded and pretty standard behavioral questions. They wanted to know about me and my experiences / how I could use any soft skills I had and translate them to consulting.
I applied online. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at IQVIA (New York, NY) in Apr 2022
Interview
It was a fairly quick interview process. 1 phone screening, an hour long case interview, and then a 3 and a half hour long final round with 1 written case, 1 case interview and 1 behavioral interview. In the initial phone screening, the hiring manager told me the timeline to expect and they stuck to it. Very good communication on their parts with regards to knowing what the steps in the process was and what they entailed for every round.
