I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at PPD (Highland Heights, KY) in Nov 2015
Interview
Panel team of bosses. First started with emails, then phone screenings, then told to contact a placement agency. The first interview in person was over 3 hours long with several different rooms of people. Long questions, all asked the same questions. Then I was told to apply for a different lab position. Interview process started all over. More phone calls, emails, told to contact placement agency ... again. Then in person interview for 2 hours.
Very poor communication on their behalf. Never contacted after going through multiple round of interview and I even reached out for an update to which they told me it was ongoing. Still months later never contacted.
