I applied through college or university. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at IQVIA (Boston, MA) in Apr 2018
Interview
Went through campus recruiting through my masters program.
first round 2 interviews back to back, case and behavioral. not hard. second round was 4 interviews. Simple written case where I was asked to present 5 slides on my recommendation on portfolio management for a "client". 3 behaviorals otherwise. Not hard
HOWEVER, This company did me dirty. They loved me, and they ended up being our client for my next project through my Masters. I saw my interviewers and worked for them on that project, and they wanted to give me an offer, but they said there was no headcount available. they evaluated my case month by month for 4 months, and still can't come up with an offer. All is well as I'm pursuing my MPH now as a backup, but they never had the ability to give me an offer in the first place. They took weeks to reach a decision. Didn't keep appointments to talk about offers, and ignored calls and emails.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Presentation Case: You're given a written document and 45 minutes to work out a recommendation to a client. Simple calculations are involved. You're asked to make recommendations on portfolio management between 2 potential acquisitions or investments for a drug. You're asked to draw 5 slides as you would and present them to the interviewer. There was just one at this point, defend your recommendation, and role play as if the interviewer was the client.

I applied online. The process took 7 months. I interviewed at IQVIA (New York, NY) in Oct 2017
Interview
Company was really sluggish in scheduling interview. Gave first round on phone. And then second round was in person. They told results will be out in a week. It has been more than 4 months they didn't communicate results to me. Talked to the senior partner at the firm who thought i did well in interview. He was surprised that offer was not extended till date. Really sluggish recruiter, chased her with emails but never got response.
There is no harm in sending rejection email, but they didnt even do that
