There wasn't an official job opening so I contacted PPD myself. After a talk with the head of clinical operations, she promised to contact me whenever a position was available. Last week she did and the job application process started. First I answered a survey via mail for HR in the UK. Then I had to let them know my availability and within a week an interview was scheduled. First interview was with 2 managers and took 60 minutes. Ambiance was relaxed so time flew by and they were really nice. After this I had a 45 min interview by conference call with someone from HR in the UK. Will hear the result within a week. Good experience in any case.
