I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Veeva Systems in May 2024
Interview
I applied to a Software Engineer position online and was contacted by a recruiter to have a chat. We had the chat and went over standard HR related questions including the details of what's to come for the interview process. However I then received a rejection email a few days later out of nowhere? I could tell it was a template response too since it said stuff like "thanks for getting to know our team etc." but I didn't even speak to any team yet?? I emailed the recruiter asking why and she mentioned that the team is actually looking for a senior level right now.... so why doesn't Veeva post a senior level position instead of this position that I'm actually qualified for??? Felt disrespectful to lead me on like that and a waste of my time
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Standard recruiter intro questions like why are you interested in Veeva? Could you talk about your overall work progression? Why are you looking to leave right now?
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.

I applied online. I interviewed at Veeva Systems (Toronto, ON)
Interview
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.'
I applied online. I interviewed at Veeva Systems (London, England) in Mar 2026
Interview
Applied online, then offered online interview.
The interviewer seemed completely disengaged through the whole process, and never even hinted at a smile once. It was a real shame and a waste of an hour - I should've stopped 15 minutes in to be honest.
Kept asking questions and re-asking the same ones 5 minutes later. Going off and back on camera. His attitude wasn't selling it, and him telling me the company was "overly American and intense" wasn't helping either.
