I applied online. I interviewed at PPD (Richmond, VA) in May 2017
Interview
I applied online and was contacted via email and phone in order to set up a time for a phone screening. I did so and spoke on the phone at the determined time with an HR Specialist for about 30 minutes about my interests and experience before setting up an in-person interview. The in-person interview consisted of meetings with three different Group Leaders in the department for the position I applied to. They first discussed my resume and qualifications before asking me behavioral questions they were required to ask. I was also given a tour of the department in which I would be working.

I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at PPD (Cambridge, East of England, England) in May 2017
Interview
First, I received an email to arrange a phone interview with Justin. Then I spoke with the recruiter and he just asked me a few questions about my previous work experience and education and then I was invited to a face-to-face interview in Cambridge.
I went to Cambridge where I had the face to face interview with the recruiter and my future line manager. They asked STAR type questions. My line manager was on the phone so I was not used to that.
