The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at IQVIA (New York, NY) in Nov 2009
Interview
The first step was a basic phone screen conducted by someone within HR. After about a week I was called in for a face-to-face interview with someone at Engagement Manager level. This interview consisted of providing examples of consulting type work experiences from my last job. I was then invited to a next round of interviews with more engagement managers and principals who all seemed a little too full of themselves. I wasn't interviewing at somewhere like McKinsey but there was all the intellectual arrogance one would attribute to them present in the people who interviewed me. It was laughable at times because quite clearly they weren't the brightest.

I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at IQVIA (Amsterdam)
Interview
The interview process was slow and quite drawn out. In total, I completed five interviews. The interviewers were lovely, and the questions were generally reasonable and not overly difficult. However, the process itself often felt unclear. For example, after my final-round interview, I was told I had received positive feedback and that they wanted to progress me to another final round. In that subsequent interview, I was told there may not be enough business in the area I had applied for, and asked whether I would be open to working in other areas, despite a previous interviewer suggesting they wanted me to specialise in a different area. Overall, I found the communication somewhat inconsistent and confusing. The process took around three months in total, which felt unnecessarily drawn out.
Mix of behavioral and technical skills. Focus on understanding the current role and diversity of experiences. How I managed a team, handled challenging situations, value I bring to the table
