I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at IQVIA (Toronto, ON)
Interview
An incredibly lengthy interview process with little information as to what you will be doing in the 6 hours.
2- 1 hour behaviour interviews, basic stuff trying to understand who you are and how you work with others. they want you to be authoritative but also compliant. communication is key
15 minute writing test - write an email about changing a study protocol to a client
hour long analysis interview - figure out what's wrong with a graph etc. and forecast revenue over 3 years of a drug.
then a group interview - develop study protocol to determine effeciency of adrug.
they were all very unproffesional. would not recommend.
they take you in for 6 hours, don't let you sit by yourself. no breaks apart from lunch. if you keep someone in for that long you better have the courtesy to send an email rejection if the interview didn't go well. they just completely ghosted.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
project: measuring the impact of imaglif therapy on patient hba1c in canadian electronic medical records
objective: how well does fimaglif work in the real world setting in reducing hba1c. the results will be published and used in discussion with public payers to support coverage for imaglif.
data: 10k patients, majority receiving metformin. have to also go through a data catalogue - look at other factors that could influence the study.
I received the email notifying me that shortly after, I would receive instructions regarding the first round of interviews. However, I did not receive the instructions first; instead, I received the interview email directly, which was quite annoying.
3 rounds first with hiring manager then with a panel along with senior manager and finally a round/fit check with Principle followed by final discussion with HR. Technical round would include guesstimates followed by case study presentation
On-demand video assessment interview where you record your response -> Math&Logistics test -> case interview with a consultant (not a typical case; this is more focused on math and calculation)
