Interview was very simple — just reviewed my experience from the resume. Straightforward and short. No behavioral or STAR questions, just basic discussion of background and previous roles. Very relaxed overall.

Question 1
How much experience in all areas listed on my resume
I applied online. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Parexel (Bengaluru) in Sept 2011
Interview
Meticulous, thorough and robust.
HR telephonic round, followed by written test, followed by technical face-face round, followed by final HR face-face round.
The panel was friendly and strives to create a comforting environment to the candidate.
The HR round is a bit tedious since they like to be very sure about your candidature and the HR is very professional and clear on the needs and expectations.
I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Parexel in Jan 2021
Interview
There were three stages of the interview with Human Resources specialist and Data Management representatives. All questions were relevant to position, but not considered previous work experience. Really good experience with global company!
Submitted application online, HR promptly called back. Had a phone interview with the hiring manager about a week later. Very cordial and professional but it seemed to focus primarily on definitions, e.i. "What is a slowly changing dimension?" or "What is the difference between Union and Joiner transformation?". Almost no questions about experience. Made me think that a college graduate would perform better on this interview than a seasoned professional.
