Software Engineer Intern

IQVIA’s interview process typically starts with a timed online coding test focusing on Python and data‑structures, followed by a technical interview that probes API design, AI fundamentals, and testing knowledge. The final HR round assesses cultural fit and communication skills. Candidates find the rounds moderately challenging but fair, with emphasis on problem‑solving clarity and practical project experience.

Round 1: Online coding assessment (DSA and Python) → Round 2: Technical interview (Python, APIs, AI concepts, testing) → Round 3: HR interview (fit, communication, internship expectations)
