I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at PPD (Madison, WI) in Oct 2014
Interview
I met with a variety of upper management roles to discuss my background, as well as my prospects and goals both inside and outside of the company. There was a brief tour around the facility at my request, during which I was given more details about the nature of the work, which is fairly difficult to explain in an interview setting.
