Moving onto the technical portion of the interview process, candidates are asked to configure a solution for a mock client using their Vault platform. Candidates were expected to spend 20-30 hours on this exercise and give a 1h long presentation of their solution. The platform was completely foreign to me as I can imagine it was to almost every other candidate, and I had quite a few questions. However, if there was one thing I learned it was that asking questions was a mistake, despite the description of the project encouraging it. The questions I asked went unanswered, and I later found out in a post-rejection follow-up call that my questions were actually a detriment to my value. They said that they would rather a candidate give their best effort alone and say "I don't know" when met with a question they can't answer. From my interview process, I've come to realize that the Veeva Consulting Program has a few glaring red flags when it comes to leaving associates with little direction and assistance.
