I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at IQVIA (Bengaluru) in Feb 2018
Interview
4 Rounds of Interview
1. Aptitude
2. Written
3. HR
4. Technical
Though I cleared all the 3 rounds in technical interview i felt the panel was judgmental and very keen in rejecting as the questions asked was not as per the profile and i was hardly given any chance to speak, also the panel was smirking and making faces during the interview

Question 1
what is your definition of clinical research monitoring?
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at IQVIA in Nov 2025
Interview
Un premier contact avec une RH, très sympa, puis j'ai été invité à faire un "entretien" HireVue (personne en face, des questions sont posées à l'écran). Suite à cela, j'ai reçu un mail pour faire un entretien de 30 minutes avec les managers, ce qui est court pour évaluer une entreprise/équipe (à peine le temps de poser des questions). Quelques jours plus tard, j'ai reçu un mail automatique (!) indiquant que je n'étais pas retenu pour le poste. J'ai demandé à avoir un vrai feedback, je n'ai jamais eu de réponse.
