I applied online. I interviewed at IQVIA (Barcelona) in Sep 2025
Interview
You are asked to do an assessment , so you can prove you understand the job. Then you show your presentation , and one of them will ask very specific questions about your previous experience. Think good cop, bad cop episodes.
Video interview, few questions to type, few to record. Not too bad, just feeling strange talking to yourself. You need to maintain an eye contact and smile. Questions are not that dificult, mainly about previous experience
