Senior Software Engineer Interview Experience - Boston, Massachusetts

Positive ExperienceGot Offer

Process

Veeva is aggressively expanding in Boston, and they reached out to me a number of times. I finally responded and set up a chat with an internal recruiter.

Afterwards, I had a three-way video call with the recruiter and the hiring manager, discussing qualifications and asking questions. This was followed by an individual call with the hiring manager to discuss my technical background.

I was then directed to a different hiring manager for a greenfield product. At the time, I would have been the third or fourth individual on this team. I had a general, non-technical, experience-focused chat, with a very brief verbal technical question about a line of code.

This was followed by a behavioral call with Steve Harper, the director for the Boston build-out. He had been at Veeva for multiple years, the longest of anyone I spoke with thus far (the others were there for less than a year). We chatted about career goals and the company.

The offer was somewhat competitive at $150,000 total compensation, with stock options available for purchase. I was surprised at the lack of extensive technical screening, though pleased at the simplicity of the process. I turned the offer down due to the timing of the start date, remote-work incompatibility, higher total compensation expectations, and to move forward with other opportunities.

Questions

Mostly behavioral and background experience.

Very brief verbal technical quizzing to get at my thought process.
