I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at PPD (Moskau, ) in Feb 2016
Interview
HR called me after two days I applied(website) in order to arrange phone interview. Phone interview was very smooth, pleasant and informative. After one week, they called me again asking to come by the office for the f2f interview with the Manager. The atmosphere in office was very cozy and relaxing. Manager was very nice, straightforward, communicative and professional. Interview lasted for approximately 1,5 hour. At the end I was notified that this position is ongoing and they will search for a potential candidate for a month or so.

Interview
You meet with 3 managers. Each asks you a series of questions with each interview lasting approximately 30 minutes each. Each interviewer is friendly and gives you an opportunity to think through the questions and respond. They also will repeat any questions that clarity is needed for.
It was fairly straightforward, but there was a recruiter doing the hiring, so they didn't really know what they were talking about. You are interviewed by both the company and the recruiters. Such is the life of a scientist looking for work; people who studied management and human resources are rarely equipped with the knowledge to conduct a proper interview about scientific research. Also the position is temp to permanent.
