J'ai postulé en ligne. Le processus a pris 4 semaines. J'ai passé un entretien chez Veeva Systems (Pleasanton, CA) en mars 2016
Entretien
Over a month after sending in my application, I was contacted by a recruiter. We spoke briefly and I a phone screen was setup with one of the engineering managers/directors. After some small talk, we got to the coding questions. After talking about my thought process and the solution, when I asked a clarifying question to the interviewer, he was completely absent. He came back sometime later and abruptly asked me to explain my code while I was still writing it even though we had plenty of time left. I explained my code, asked him a few questions regarding Veeva and the work, and was never contacted again even after sending an email to the recruiter.
Remember that interviews are as much for the potential employee as they are for the employer. If Veeva doesn't care to have good hiring practices or make a good impression, then why should I care to work for Veeva? Mediocre hiring practices tells me they have no way of filtering out mediocre engineers and I will be avoiding Veeva in the future.
The process began with a first-round personality and behavioral interview. The interviewer focused on my background, communication style, work preferences, and how I approach teamwork and problem solving. After that round, I received a rejection and did not move forward.

Applied through university job board. HR round was brief - asked about career aspirations and which team I'd want to join. Never heard back from them after the first round.

Entretien
Applied for a Canadian role. Was interviewed by a US-based recruiter who does not understand Canadian employment law. I hold an open work permit (which requires zero employer sponsorship or cost), but the recruiter explicitly rejected me on the call, stating they 'only hire Citizens or PRs to avoid sponsorship.'
