Interviewed Mar 2012 (took a day)
The first interview was on the phone with an HR specialist. I was asked basic questions regarding my resume and experiences. I was given some information on the company and why they were hiring. Several weeks later I received a call from the office location to come in for an interview. I interviewed with four people to include the hiring decision maker. The interviews were about my experiences and how I would handle certain situations. My background and experiences were from a different industry and somone with that industry specific experience was chosen over me. My impression of Quintiles was positive.

Interviewed Nov 2011 (took 1 week)
I thought that the process was quite seamless. I first had a phone interview with the head of the department and after the initial screening I was invited to attend a face-to-face in Kansas City. They were very communicative and accommodating about the traveling plans.
I interviewed with 7 different people, some meetings were with two people at a time, others were with one person at a time. All interviewers were pleasant and respectful. I felt good about the process and was delighted to accept the offer.

Interviewed May 2011 (took 5 months)
Initial contact with Quintiles was very efficient. I got prompt reply on emails and was kept up-to-date with the whole process. Interviews were sometimes scheduled on short notice, but this wasn't really inconvenient. I was accommodated whenever I could not fit a date in. I had various telephonic interviews (1:1 and conference calls). Very enjoyable, but quite intense with regards to questions. Lots of examples of skills required (real life scenarios). Interviewers made me feel very comfortable. Small talk that was made was probably to access my social interacting skills, so don't get carried away, stay focussed. The interview questions are thorough and in depth, so be prepared.
I would still very much like to work for the company. All the VPs, directors and project managers made a very positive impression on me. Everybody was really knowledgable and so enthusiastic about their work and about Quintiles as employer, they really made me want to work with them.
Interview Questions
(They did admit that this was an unfair question)
Reason for Declining
Salary offered was WAY below my current salary. I would have like to at least earn the same salary.
