Colloquio
Recruiter contacted me via email, setup time for phone screen. However on scheduled day and time, recruiter was a no-show. There was no follow-up email or call. I reached out again and setup for another time but on the day of, I received a call 45 minutes past our scheduled time.
A brief 30 minute conversation followed and agreed to move forward with a manager interview and for me to provide some available days and times; which was done via email. Received one VM with a question which was followed up but there's not been any calls or updates despite me inquiring.

Quite comfortable but many steps. More than 3 interviews. Hiring manager > a few people in the team > VP of professional service > HR It seems that they consider not only the experties but mindset to be a part of team

I spoke with a recruiter to learn more about the company. This was then followed by a series of video interviews that were very easy going. The recruiter did an amazing job with helping me find the right opportunities, even when they were not available at the time of our initial discussion.

The interview process consists of initial phone interviews, followed by an online video interview and then and in-person interview. The first two stages of this process work well. Unfortunately, when I went in to interview at the Medidata office, I was quickly appalled by what appeared to be an over-crowded code farm engaging in start-up cosplay.
There is no room to spare here. The in-person interview process seemed uncoordinated and they struggle to find a place to hold the interview due to overcrowding. Everyone is out in the open in extremely small work areas. The noise is so loud that it is hard to hear, even when you are in one of the small conference rooms.
Like most start-ups, Medidata uses the same old "cultural fit" routine which is common now. In my opinion, the "cultural fit" tactic seems to be masking potential discrimination on almost any ground one might desire. This practice is questionable as I don't see how anyone can determine "cultural fit" in such a short period of time. I am automatically leery of organizations that declare "cultural fit" as a criteria for hiring. The potential for discrimination under this practice is rather obvious.
In short, I didn’t like what I saw in Medidata’s working environment. Not much room to move around. Interviewers were professional though indifferent. I suspect I was a back-up interview and they had already made a decision.
