I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Veeva Systems (Pleasanton, CA) in Apr 2025
Interview
My first round was with the hiring manager. That was pretty good. I was asked to finish some homework and submit it before moving to the next round. The question was to write Web and API test cases in Cucumber format. The next two rounds of interviews were a technical round.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Questions were related to Selenium, Java, and TestNG. I was asked to write code to reverse a string, find if the year is a leap year or not, and check how many words "apple" can be formed out of a random string.
I applied online. I interviewed at Veeva Systems (Pleasanton, CA)
Interview
The interview process at Veeva is absolute chaos. I was contacted by the hiring manager, and not a recruiter. Weeks would go by with no contact and then another reach out. Then another cycle of being ghosted and then another reach out.
I was asked to do a "project" and I was given a log in to a "bug bash" site for the product and asked to write up a test plan for an extremely involved page. I found so many bugs and typos it actually felt like I was doing real test work for their next release.
I was asked to resubmit my resume several times with more specific graduation date and every detail of work experience since that time. I was also asked to include additional PII like my address and phone number. In my opinion this was all geared at determining my age. I am an older candidate and it's very obvious based on my experience.
Had an initial call with the HR. Most of the questions were about my experience, no technical questions, the interview took 30 minutes. Unfortunately , they did not invite for the next round.
