I applied online. I interviewed at PPD in Jun 2019
Interview
The first phone interview with the recruiter felt like I was an afterthought for the position already, made me not want to continue in the interview process. Was very unenthusiastic about the job adn the company benefits, etc. Did not answer questions without sighing.
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at PPD (Austin, TX) in Apr 2018

Brief HR interview, then 2-3 separate 45 minute interviews (F2F or remote) with managers of clinical management using STAR question format. After each individual interview, the interviewers discuss the questions/responses and determine to hire or not.
