I applied online. I interviewed at Veeva Systems in Mar 2026
Interview
First two interviews were with an SVP and Director of Product and they were good, easy to talk to and not technical. After that they gave a week long take home project. I usually don't do interview projects just based on principle but I decided to do it this one time since I liked the people I had interviewed with and was genuinely interested in the role. They gave a week but I have a full time job and I'm interviewing with multiple companies so I gave myself an 8 hour limit on this project. The assignment was rather vague and suggested mockups to be included which of course I did. When it came time to present, they were incredibly nit picky on very small details of the mockup wanting to go deep into the data modeling on a granular level - I also didn't have enough information from them to be able to model the data and then when asking for more information, they ended the question and moved on. I was expecting much more high level questions about my process, the persona I built, more big picture since that was the project assigned. The level of detail they suddenly wanted was not something I could have prepared for given the vagueness of the brief and the time I had invested in the take home project. They clearly were not happy about this then got very quiet and I could tell they were messaging each other during the remainder of my presentation. At the end when I asked for additional questions or feedback, they said "No, thanks, bye" and ended the call. It was so weird and totally turned me off to the position. The next day I got a generic system generated email saying they rejected me. Read some other reviews from the last week of others who had similar experience. Definitely dodged a bullet and would not have been happy there.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 8 weeks. I interviewed at Veeva Systems (Danvers, MA) in Dec 2020
Interview
The initial interview was your standard interview, tell us about yourself and your experience. Following this, they wanted me to do a whole mock presentation with hours and hours of preparation and minimal information. So I spend a ton of personal time to put together a presentation and deck with everything they ask for in this scenario. When I get to the presentation, the hiring manager and another project manager, both are late to the presentation, one shows up 30 minutes into it, the other leaves 35 minutes into it. Each attendee got half of the presentation. At the end of the meeting, I was complemented on my ability to handle the hectic schedules and not let it phase me and the detailed deck I had put together. They then go radio silent for 6 weeks. I don't hear a single thing, only to get a email from the hiring manager saying only "I just met with the panel and we are not moving forward at this time." The whole ordeal was extremely unprofessional and I feel like I got swindled into working for free for them, and would not recommend anyone agree to this format of interview with them in the future without them agreeing for some hourly compensation for the work you're going to put in.
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Veeva Systems
Interview
Hiring manager is the first call instead of HR. 5 interview rounds including a case study which is requested in advance of presenting/scheduling the case study.
There was very quick responses from the hiring manager however no feedback was allowed to be shared after any rounds or rejection.
I applied online. I interviewed at Veeva Systems (Toronto, ON) in Sept 2025
Interview
Many rounds of interviews with a very time-consuming project in which I was required to design a product feature that was actually on their roadmap. The hiring manager's boss attended the case study and abruptly, with no notice, changed the structure of the interview on the fly and demanded a live data-modelling exercise instead of allowing me to present my prepared case study. Up until that point, the hiring manager had expressed concerns re: seniority but seemed to be open to hiring for potential. Unfortunately it appeared his manager did not agree and was cold, rude, and dismissive in the case study.
Fortunately I think it says enough about the culture of the team I would have been joining to allow me to feel fortunate I didn't leave my current role.
