I applied to Veeva Systems online in February. The hiring manager contacted me in April via email and wanted to schedule a phone interview for a Tuesday or Wednesday. I waited for the call, but no one called.

So, I sent an email Wednesday night stating my availability for Thursday. The hiring manager called me on Thursday and asked basic procedural and other questions.

After the phone interview, the hiring manager said I would be contacted. I never was. However, I followed up about one month later, and the hiring manager scheduled an onsite interview, although I had to send many emails.

I was scheduled to interview with three different people (one-on-one interviews) and ended up talking to two because the third person was on vacation. The interview was very basic, with not a lot of technical questions. I did, however, take a technical test, but the hiring manager said I would not be evaluated on it for this position.

As I was being interviewed, I got to ask a few questions. My favorite question to ask in an interview is, "Do you have any concerns about my qualifications to do this job?" I asked this question during my second interview, and I was told there were no concerns.

After the second interview, the hiring manager (from the first interview) told me, ". . . has some concerns about you." We chatted for a bit, and the hiring manager walked me out.

I received a call back the next week and was told they decided to go with a different candidate.

There were really no difficult questions.
