PPD interviews FAQs

I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at PPD (Bellshill, Schottland)
Interview
I applied online and then received an email asking me to come for a personal interview. I was interviewed by two women; one was in the room with me while the other was conference called in. Some questions about me and the experience I have. Then they asked competency based question, which took up most of the hour. They got back to me the next to tell me I was unsuccessful but explained that I was being to ambitious and to much of a leader which was not what they were looking for.

I applied online. I interviewed at PPD (Wilmington, NC) in Oct 2016
Interview
Got an email from a recruiter about a month after applying. She set up a time to have a phone interview with me. She wasn't very friendly during the interview which made it more difficult, but I guess she liked my answers enough to set up an in-person interview at PPD. There, I met with three different people for one-on-one interviews and they were all welcoming and easy to talk to. It was just hard answering "tell me about a time" questions for two hours straight.
