Evidera Interview Questions

Application

I applied online. The process took 2+ months. I interviewed at Evidera.

Interview

The interview process to about 2 months. The first interview was a basic phone screen with a current employee. The second step was a phone call with a senior HR recruiter. Finally after that I was called in for an in-person interview. The phone calls were pleasant and easy. The in-person interview was one of the worst experiences I have every had. The interviewers were rude and were belittling. It felt like they were trying to catch me in lies and constantly undermined all of my experiences. The in-person interview also included an hour long presentation.

Interview

Very thorough interview process, but expected for this type of position. First interview was with a senior HR recruiter - very pleasant. More or less a screening process to assess whether your interests and work approach match with the position and company culture. After the HR interview I had a conversation with the potential hiring manager, and a few weeks later I was asked to interview in person with several individuals (research positions) and do a 1-hour presentation on a scientific topic of my choosing. Overall, the interview process was challenging, positive and interesting.

I applied through college or university. The process took 4+ months. I interviewed at Evidera (Lexington, MA (US)) in April 2016.

Interview

Two phone interviews with a recruiter and a senior team member followed by a half-day office interview. During the office interview you meet with many different team members and give a presentation that you have previously prepared to the whole team. Everyone was very friendly, but, like any consulting firm, they are tough and want to make sure you can handle the pressure. They made me feel very excited about being a part of the company.

Interview

I know Evidera is going to write some condescending remark about my experience as a company representative does this a lot on Glassdoor. I read many Glassdoor reviews before going through the interview process and was apprehensive about Evidera's interview. I find Glassdoor reviews extremely helpful. I had two nice phone screens then I went into the Bethesda office for F2F interviews. There were a few people I met that day. Except for the hiring manager no one else had a warm, welcoming persona. I wish I knew why. Either the hiring manager is genuinely nice or was simply doing their job of selling me on the opportunity. I struggled to figure out how I was going to help this organization because I kept receiving conflicting statements. Based on past condescending remarks to job interviewers I am sure the company will post I am not "the best" or something like that. However, my experience in the interview was more because the staff was basically all over the board with questions and responses to my questions. I am actually trying to give positive feedback to the company so they can learn and perhaps adjust. I hope the company does not attack my comments like they attack the comments of others. Corrective feedback is the only feedback that moves people or organizations forward.

I applied online. The process took 3+ months. I interviewed at Evidera in August 2014.

Interview

The entire interview process took about 3 months. I applied online through their careers page and received an email from the HR manager a couple weeks later asking me to answer a few questions about my experience using certain models and programs, and my location preferences. Soon afterwards, I had a phone interview with the HR manager, where the questions were mainly behavioral (e.g. Why Evidera? What are your career goals? How would you describe your ideal manager?). About 3-4 weeks later, I had another phone interview, this time with a Research Scientist. This interview was less behavioral, and focused on my previous research and programming experience. A month or so later I got an email saying they wanted to conduct an onsite interview. They flew me in to MD (all expenses are paid or reimbursed later) and I had three interviews (each interview was with two analysts). Most of the questions were related to my resume/ past experience/ etc. The last part of the interview was an Excel assessment with six questions. You are allowed to use the internet to help you answer the questions. I don't have experience using Visual Basic so I struggled answering those questions. I did not receive an offer, but the entire experience was very positive. I had great discussions with the professionals and was impressed with how approachable and friendly all the workers were.
