I applied online. I interviewed at Medidata Solutions (Iselin, NJ) in Dec 2018
Interview
Had 4 interviews-3 one-on-one phone interviews and then an in-person interview with 3 people but NEVER received any type of communication that I didn't receive the job! I wrote an email to the recruiter saying how UNPROFESSIONAL it was to NOT receive any type of communication after putting all that time into the interview process. He did call me back to apologize and did say that one of his coordinators should have sent me an email saying I didn't get the job! VERY UNPROFESSIONAL!!!!

Question 1
Typical interview questions along with an exercise to understand my training & development skills.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Medidata Solutions (Tokyo) in Oct 2018
Interview
Very long interview process - took multiple calls, with both technical and HR questions. Entire process took over 2 months and seemed chaotic. On each call-intreview I was scheduled to another "last one" with yet another person.
Got an offer, that was completely different than what was presented to me on 1st call - didn't take it. Company is OK with doing interviews for more than 2 months, but apparently there is problem to start the job 2 weeks later. Also, compensation and relocation package were different than what I've been told in initial offer. (I wouldn't even consider this offer if I'd knew the compensation would be that low)
Technical questions were very academic alike - took online algorithms quiz, on-call questions were related to fixing some bugs in example methods and solving an algorithm questions.
Entire process overall was rather unprofessional, especially when considering relocating to another country - I didn't feel like company would support me if I made choice to go with it. Seems like company branch in Tokyo have no experience with relocation and hiring from abroad.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Medidata Solutions (Waltham, MA) in Sep 2018
Interview
Initial phone interview with HR. Possibly another phone interview with hiring manager. Onsite interview with would be peers and hiring manager. One hour presentation to panel on customer scenario.
