Everyone who joins the Consultant Development Program, or CDP, completes a candidate exercise during their Veeva interview process. I
Sigiloso
It consists of working on a short customer scenario we would encounter as consultants at veeva and getting the opportunity to see one of their software applications in action. Again, this step of the interview process was not only a practice to judge my potential, but it was also an exercise for me to determine whether or not this was the kind of work that I wanted to do on a daily basis. After a week of building out my solution, I presented my Salesforce environment to Matt and three other CDPers, who would end up becoming my teammates after I joined Veeva. One of them actually ended up being my CRM training facilitator (hi, Lizzie!), and another one ended up being my CDP “Big Buddy” (hi, Dan!). I loved how connected I was to current CDPers during this interview process. It felt like everything was a two-way street — would I be a good fit for this team at Veeva, but also, did I like what they had to say when I asked about their work-life balance?
