I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Veeva Systems (Pleasanton, CA) in Jul 2020
Interview
Submitted application on their website. About a week later, a QA director sent email to arrange first video interview. Passed her round and scheduled multiple 1:1 interviews with the VP and only managers on other teams.
A few days after all the zoom interviews, one of the QA managers scheduled another zoom call to discuss their interest in extending an "offer" while stressing that don't assume Veeva is actually making an offer.
He emailed many times over the course of two weeks and asked whether I will accept an "offer" while still said there is no actual offer yet. We finally did agree on a start date, salary, and expected RSU amount but the written offer never came after weeks of negotiations. Just a short ten days before my supposedly start date, he emailed and said will need to delay the start date again! Their excuse was the team was waiting for the CEO to approve the offer. In the many weeks after he first brought up their intent to extend an "offer", there was no mention of background and reference checks! It is clear they only wanted to hire younger candidates but didn't want to turn away older candidates! They resorted to the delaying tactics and hope I would just "go away" on my own!
I definitely have enough information and evidence to sue them for fraud and gross negligence! Just image what could have happened had I quite my job and then find out the "agreement" was only fraudulent all along!
Also, no professional recruiters and HR was involved in the hiring process because the company wants to save money and the managers ARE the recruiters! Think very very carefully if you do decide to join this company!
My two cents: DO NOT WASTE TIME WITH VEEVA!!!
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Tell me about yourself and explain why you leave every job on my resume! Was asked what year I graduated from college (definitely unethical if not illegal question) multiple times!
I went into a call and they asked me what my typical day-to-day work would look like. I wasn’t fully sure how to answer at the time, so they asked me to go into more detail and provide more specific information about my responsibilities and workflow. Since I couldn’t clearly explain it, they decided to move forward with other candidates instead.

I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Veeva Systems
Interview
It was good, there was enough time to prepare between each steps, and there was good communication between all parties involved. There could have been more feedback on what could have been improved on.
