Applied online for the job and got an email asking for a phone screening within 10 days. The first phone interview was relatively standard, just going through my resume and asking what my skills are/relevant experience. Only curveball were the questions about animal testing/affiliation with PETA. Second round interview consisted of three different phone calls with head of departments/senior analysts. The first was more technical, asking about my experience in programming/how I would deal with a problem given certain information (stats related), while the other two were more informal and asked about my resume, strengths and weaknesses, etc. I came in for a final round interview to the headquarters, and met with the people I would work with if extended an offer. Overall, I expected a more behavioral-based interview process, but it was actually pretty informal and felt as though the employers were just trying to gauge how good of a fit I would be in their team.

Had an initial phone interview with an HR rep who called from Chicago, IL (the actual position is in Princeton, NJ). Asked about what I thought of animal testing, where/when did I hear about covance for the first time, what are my professional strengths, what is a moment in my career that I am most or very proud of, why am I right for the job? The person interviewing was very nice.
