I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Validation Associates (Herndon, VA) in Aug 2015
Interview
Basic HR screen on phone + technical screen again on phone. HR screen was very basic to gauge your communication skills. Technical phone screen was more of a 'do you know what validation is? what 21 CFR is?' type questions.
Got offered a position but required to stay for a 2-3-4 week training plus client marketing round to actually get you a job. They offered free accommodation + free food and even offered to pay for your flight after getting a client offer. Red flag 1.
I talked to HR again and sure enough, they sent me samples of resumes of fresh college graduates with 5 to 7 years of fake experience and credentials added in them. This was not even projects or coursework - this was straight up faked experience with multinational companies. They ask you to delete linkedin and facebook so your details are hidden. RED FLAG ALERT
Candidates beware - This type of fraud can lead to criminal charges - and can also end up getting you deported. Stay away from fake consulting companies especially from unscrupulous Indian folks.
Clean, simple and 3 rounds of it. There are multiple people who try to explain you the process. Great, organised system. HR handles you well and are easy to reach out. They know what they are doing.
