I applied online. I interviewed at PPD in Feb 2018
Interview
Recruiter did a phone screening. Project Director did an over the phone interview. Then you got a call saying that you were hired. This was a 3 month assignment so they didn't put much effort into interviewing.
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at PPD (Wilmington, NC) in Aug 2016
Interview
First I had a phone screening which took about 30 minutes with a recruiter. A couple days later I received an email about an in person interview. The interview was with 3 supervisors and each lasted about 45 minutes. They ask lots of STAR based personality questions. Two days after my interview I was contacted by a recruiter with a job offer. My start date was 2 weeks after the offer was extended.
