I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at IQVIA in Jul 2011
Interview
2 panel interviews with 2 individuals each and a presentation.
I found out that they hire when they get a project, so there was no job available at that time, information which was not disclosed prior to the interview.
Also, if you need to travel for the interview watch out for the reimbursement as you are given the run-around even though they tell you prior to the interview that you will get paid for it.
The company used to be very professional a few years ago, but it changed. I would not recommend it.

I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at IQVIA (Ámsterdam)
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
