I applied in-person. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Medpace
Interview
Open house meet and greet followed by a 15 minute phone interview. Then a job offer. Did not feel very thorough and didn't seem like employees were super thrilled by management.
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Medpace
Interview
Contacted after online application submitted for a Skype interview.
Skype interview was brief and basic (so brief I thought I wasn't going to be considered)
After 1 week from the Skype interview, an email confirmed their interest in bringing me in for a face-to-face interview.
The face-to-face interview went well, it was fairly casual and conversational, though there were 2 CRA managers in the room. There was also a brief HR interview that was about background and why the interest in the role at this company specifically.
The CRA managers intend to find out if you are a good fit, what you know about the position, what your strengths and weaknesses will be and what concerns you about the job. You will also have to give a short presentation on the job role and its importance to the industry. Come prepared but don't stress!

A phone interview invitation arrived right on the other day after my application and it was conducted by the hiring manager who was only available after 2 weeks. It went okay - the questions were classic and he seemed friendly, and I got told the next step would be probably having an in-person interview in the office.
A couple days later another phone interview invitation arrived and this time I was interviewed, quite spontaneously, by another two HR ladies. It was a pretty "cold" but rushy conversation and I could hardly feel the ladies at the other end of the line were actually interested in exploring my profile further.
There's no next-step any more and after THREE months till now there is still no feedback, though they keep editing the same vacancy and have it online the whole time. It's interestingly quite hard to interpret what approach they are trying to apply.
