I applied through referral. My friends pg's roommate was already working in IQVIA and his maanger was looking for a senior database developer resource. My resume was forwarded to her and she really liked it and initiated the hiring process. I was in a different city so they had to organise telephonic interviews. The first round was most important. The interview went on for 40/45 minutes. All were on database and all involved core database concepts and development expertise. The recruitment HR was in touch with me during the whole process and was a genuine professional guy. After I cleared my first round, second telephonic round was scheduled with a manager. He was a really nice guy, did not get into much technical things, asked few questions on unix and oracle 12c. We had more of a informal conversation about my hobbies and if I am really upto learning new technologies. I cleared the 2nd round and the HR asked me to come to Bangalore for a face to face interaction with the manager. He also mentioned that the cost of transportation will have to be born by me which I agreed to. I came to Bangalore, met the manager, she was a nice lady and the interview went pretty well. The salary negotiation happened on the same day although they did not accept what I had asked for and also told me that they want me to join in 2 months while my notice period was for 3 months. I got the offer letter after around 25 days.
