I applied through other source. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Parexel (Lowell, MA) in Jun 2011
Interview
This company is awful. I had a decent interview there and have never had trouble with an interview before, most of the time an offer comes without a hitch. The head recruiter asked me to come out for a day to speak with them after a phone screen.
After spending the day there and taking a vacation day off to speak with them, they never had the courtesy to call me back and say they didn't want to offer a job. I was interviewing for a fairly senior job.
It is fine not to want to hire someone, no problem with this, but not to call them after they spent a day at your offices it just disrespectful and unprofessional.
Two rounds of screens with HR went smoothly. Then I was scheduled for four to five one on ones with peers on the team. Everyone is reasonable and asked mostly behavioral questions. By the time I spoke with the hiring manager, he already heard so much good feedback about me and we mostly talked about the team culture and culture fit. Offer was made shortly after that.
