I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at PPD in Feb 2013
Interview
I was emailed to come into the office for a face to face interview with the person that would be my line manager if hired, as well as two other line managers in different ppd offices. It went smooth. It was a typical interview process. It took about an hour and a half and all three managers were very easy to talk to. I was offered the position about a week or so later.
They mostly use the STAR Method for interviewing. I interviewed with 3 different people at the management level. Positive experience overall. There's also a screening with HR prior to the in-person interview.
I applied through other source. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at PPD (Austin, TX) in Oct 2019
Interview
Basically was a phone conversation and they asked me a few questions about certain situations and how I'd respond to them. They also asked me what my future entailed and how PPD fit into that timeline.
