I applied online. I interviewed at Veeva Systems (Barcelona) in Jun 2017
Interview
I was contacted for a first screening call and then invited for a case analysis study. Both the meeting were made through Skype. The case analysis must be completed by using Salesforce and this represent the most difficult part for whoever has no competences with the platform.

Questions related to the case analysis using Salesforce
I applied through college or university. I interviewed at Veeva Systems (Philadelphia, PA) in Jan 2017
Interview
I had a drawn out and strange experience here which was essentially a huge waste of time. They took ~4 weeks to get back to me after each of the first two phone interviews, but seemed very eager to hire me at each point of contact. After ~5 phone interviews, including the case presentation, we set up a date for the final interview. A few days before, I got an automated email saying that they were no longer interested in me. I waited a day or two before reaching out to the HR woman I had been coordinating with (after months of interviewing me she couldn't reach out?) and was told they decided to go with a more technical candidate. I was never asked any questions about technical skills, so make sure to bring them up. Looking back after going through a fair amount of other companies' interview processes, their communication was sporadic and interviewers didn't feel cohesive. I was also not invited to an office location at any time, though I asked to be, so didn't know what the culture or environment was like which was a huge turn off.

I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Veeva Systems
Interview
There's a phone interview to start where you get acquainted with another consultant. They want to learn about your personality and if you are a fit with Veeva's culture. Then, you take part in a case study interview in which you are given a case and software to use to create a solution and present to a board of consultants. This is the most difficult, yet most rewarding experience of the interview process. Then, if you make it through this piece, you take part in a few more phone interviews to get better acquainted with other employees/management. Overall, an enjoyable and challenging experience that does a great job examining whether you are a good fit.
