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.
I applied through other source. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Veeva Systems
Interview
It was smooth and straightforward. The Engineering manager gave a overview about the company and the technology stack. It was mainly Java. Since it was an initial chat, my salary expectations were asked.

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.'
