I applied online. I interviewed at Veeva Systems in May 2021
Interview
This is my first review ever in glassdoor. I do not write reviews but for this one I really wanted to write. Weirdest interview ever. Interviewer was just interested in knowing my back back background. I mean where i was born, which place, which school, which high school? and so on. Initially he just explained about company and project and then my background and after 2-3 days. I get email saying I am not selected for this position. Even if i was selected , i wouldn't want to work with such a manager who is too much into personal stuff. I was constantly laughing after interview. Literally who asks such questions and on the basis of such questions they decide who is eligible and who is not. Just amazed to see such unique managers. God bless the company.

Everyone I talked to in the process seemed very genuine and down to earth, so that part was good. The process was a bit long and specific to Java so I had to relearn that after several years. The coding question during the onsite was an algorithm I learned in undergrad, and had never touched again, so I don’t think it gave great signal. It was either you studied that specific algorithm or you didn’t, and you couldn’t brute-force it. I did not enjoy that. The system design problem was also strange. It started out coding a toy algorithm for a specific request assignment problem, and then about designing a real-world algorithm for the actual problem. I also don’t know what signal they were trying to get out of that. I was expecting a standard architecture design problem, not that curveball. I don’t know how to rate the interview difficulty. It was just strange. I came away expecting a rejection and received one about a week later.

Question 1
“System design”: write code to efficiently assign requests to “workers”. Then create an algorithm that would do this in real life.

Interview
First round is the hiring manager round.
Second round is the technical coding round, asked to build a basic UI component.
Questions were vague but easy. They didn’t seem very interested, which makes me think if they were actually looking to hire anyone!
had a first call with recruiter and he says his feedback is super positive but haven't get any follow up after that.
was asked about my working experience, salary expectation and a couple of basic technical questions.
