I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Veeva Systems (Pleasanton, CA) in May 2024
Interview
Contacted by company recruiter.
Over 2 months had conversations with the recruiter, hiring manager, 3 engineers (with 2 coding exercises), and executive VP of Engineering.
After this, was contacted by the hiring manager with a verbal offer significantly lower than my current total compensation (salary was in line, but significant lower with bonus and yearly RSUs). I was also informed that "We don't negotiate the compensation package."
What a waste! I was decently excited about this position!
