I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Veeva Systems (Pleasanton, CA) in Feb 2022
Interview
HR screen followed by discussion with the hiring manager. Then onto 2 paired programming sessions - both engineers were surprisingly friendly and easy to talk to. They were maybe ~medium LC problems but made to solve a practical problem and not in just a single method. This was followed by a behavioral interview with an executive. Everyone throughout the process was very friendly.

Interpret and name this method accordingly.
Why Veeva? What do you know about Veeva?
What led you to where you are today?
The process began with a first-round personality and behavioral interview. The interviewer focused on my background, communication style, work preferences, and how I approach teamwork and problem solving. After that round, I received a rejection and did not move forward.
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.

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.'
