I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at PPD (Richmond, VA) in Feb 2016
Interview
I applied online and the whole process took about three weeks. One phone interview from a manager and then set up an onsite interview on Feb, 2016 at Richmond. It took almost 3 hours for whole interview. One test and three interviews for behavior questions. The interviewers told me that they will get back to me very soon and I felt excited about that. But finally it took two weeks to get updates after two follow-ups.

Question 1
The first is a half-hour test of SAS data merge. It is not difficult. Then three interviewers gave almost two hour behavior questions such as "tell me a situation xxx...". Then interviewers are very nice and I had a wonderful time.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at PPD in Mar 2012
Interview
Three hour interview - 1 hour with each manager. Mostly done on the phone in a conference room. Basic interview questions. It did take a long time with much follow up to get an answer on what was happening regarding hiring. HR was very helpful, but were waiting on the department to make decisions.
four people, multiple question. low stress, asked multipe questions and you had to answer. nothing special. went over resume etc. lasted about 35 min. Most of te people interviewing will be your bosses/ leaders
