Interview questions [1]
Question 1
- OA: standard leetcode style
- on-site:
1. met with EDP members (just chat)
2. software engineer on team - LC in Javascript (I was being considered for front-end)
3. software engineer on team - coding question in React + some javascript/frontend conceptual questions
4. manager - resume review
- hiring round: asked a lot about "Why Veeva?" - and I didn't answer well, which is probably why I was rejected.
The process began with a first-round personality and behavioral interview. The interviewer focused on my background, communication style, work preferences, and how I approach teamwork and problem solving. After that round, I received a rejection and did not move forward.
Applied through university job board. HR round was brief - asked about career aspirations and which team I'd want to join. Never heard back from them after the first round.

I applied online. I interviewed at Veeva Systems (Toronto, ON)
Interview
Applied for a Canadian role. Was interviewed by a US-based recruiter who does not understand Canadian employment law. I hold an open work permit (which requires zero employer sponsorship or cost), but the recruiter explicitly rejected me on the call, stating they 'only hire Citizens or PRs to avoid sponsorship.'
