I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at PPD (Chicago, IL) in Nov 2020
Interview
They liked people with computer science background. The payment wasn't great if compared with a software engineer job. It was an online interview via Microsoft Teams. It started with why I choose PPD and why I choose PPD in this city. Then they talked about potential salaries and trainings. It was quite relaxing.
