I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at PPD in Jan 2011
Interview
First was a Phone interview with human resource, then phone interview with 2-3 managers, then a face to face interview with a Regional manager at a local restaurant. This was a very informal conversation and discussion about company and job more than it was "interview questions". Hiring process was simple after that.
