I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at IQVIA (New York, NY) in Sep 2016
Interview
Easy, fairly informal and laid back.
Initially called by a recruiter to set up a phone interview with the PI. This interview came one week after speaking with the recruiter, and took about 30 minutes. After the first interview I was then scheduled for another phone interview with another team member. The second interview came a week after the first. The recruiter called me a few days later to tell me I was not offered the position. So this process took about two weeks, which leads me to believe that if an offer was made and I took it - the entire hiring process would have been about a month long.

Question 1
Basic stuff: tell me about your background, why you want to work for us, future career goals, etc.
Received an online interview request a few days after applying online through Hire Vue and given 5 days to complete it. There was kinda a lot of questions. Took me almost three hours to complete it. I was given unlimited time to prepare for the answer recording for the questions. Haven't heard back yet, but its only been a few days
