I applied online. I interviewed at IQVIA (Boston, MA)
Interview
Very standard interview for healthcare/management consulting. There was an initial HR call followed by 3 calls, each with higher level employees. Questions aren't difficult as long as you prepare and you an even find some of them online. Friendly interviews overall and answered questions I had.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
The Starbucks coffee cups in a day question. Also why I want to work there as opposed to other firms.
I received the email notifying me that shortly after, I would receive instructions regarding the first round of interviews. However, I did not receive the instructions first; instead, I received the interview email directly, which was quite annoying.
3 rounds first with hiring manager then with a panel along with senior manager and finally a round/fit check with Principle followed by final discussion with HR. Technical round would include guesstimates followed by case study presentation
On-demand video assessment interview where you record your response -> Math&Logistics test -> case interview with a consultant (not a typical case; this is more focused on math and calculation)
