Technical Specialist at Medidata Solutions
No Offer – Interviewed in Edison, NJ – Reviewed Apr 22, 2013
Interview Details – The HR reached out to me for an interview. Said that I would be a good fit for the position and they were looking to fill two positions. I went in for the interview and the initial two interviews were with HR and then the manager - both of which were very pleasant and mostly related to my experience. The last two interviews were not so great - I got interviewed by a project manager who basically grilled me and could not understand why I wanted to be a technical support person if I was an engineer (ignoring my 3 years of work experience in the field). It was a very strange interview and I have never had such a bad experience before. I am a good interviewer and usually get through to final rounds for positions that I am well qualified for. Needless to say I did not get the offer and even if I did I doubt I would accept it. It did not look like a friendly environment to work in.

Software Engineer at Medidata Solutions
Accepted Offer – Interviewed in New York, NY – Reviewed Apr 11, 2013
Interview Details – I'd say most of the employees are below 40 years old. Get ready to work under pressure. First you'll get an invite for the interview from HR. It's a technology company so expect a lot of technical questions if you are applying for a technology position. You will also most likely have to pass a written test. The interview should take about an hour. Other than that, the interview process is not long.
Interview Question – Passing the written test. View Answer
Negotiation Details – I just agreed to what they offered.

Software Engineer at Medidata Solutions
Accepted Offer – Interviewed in London, England (UK) Nov 2012 – Reviewed May 9, 2013 New
Interview Details –
Three interviews in one day:
1) General technical programming and problem solving. 2 part test: 1 Java/C#, 1 SQL. Given a couple of hours to complete the two tests alone. The SQL can seem rather indepth at first but it's more to see if you understand what's going on in the background.
2) HR interview. This was pretty standard (as HR interview tend to be): give an example of a challenge you overcame, and so on.
3) 2nd technical interview with potential team lead. A discussion with the VP of the engineering team the position was for. A discussion about own, out-of-work projects, and what will be expected within the team; an overview of the product and what it's capable of.
Interview Question – A lot of the SQL questions (form an engineering POV) are, or can be, solved by using tools such as Hibernate. And so having to explain the inner workings of a complex SQL query can be daunting for someone who's used Hibernate. View Answer

Accepted Offer – Interviewed in Mar 2011 – Reviewed Apr 25, 2011
Interview Details – The hiring process is fairly straightforward. First step is a phone screening with HR and then a second phone interview with the department's direct supervisor. Following that is an on-site interview with 3-4 of the company's staff to gauge your personality and further skills. Overall it was a fair interview and not overly elaborate with 5+ rounds that I have experienced in the past.
Interview Question – Tell me about yourself Answer Question
