I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at PPD in Nov 2023
Interview
Applied online and heard back about 2 months later for a telephone interview. That went well and then had a teams interview with two managers.
They were very friendly and firstly went through my CV in depth. Asked about my experience the trials I had worked on and how often I had monitored.
Then it went onto scenario based questions which lasted for about 25 minutes. The whole interview was finished in about 1hr10 mins.
I heard back a week later to say I had the job.

I applied through a staffing agency. I interviewed at PPD
Interview
The process was smooth. There were 2 interviews for 30mins each and they asked a lot of behavioral questions. The interviewers were kind and knowledgeable. I would say make sure you prepare and leave a great first impression they made an offer really fast.
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at PPD (Albuquerque, NM) in Jun 2020
Interview
Recruiter contacted and went through basic interview questions about the job. The interview itself was with multiple individuals at the company and was pretty straight forward. If you know ICH/GCP guidelines, can take your own experience (Negative&positive) and utilize them about what you learned through them, you'll be fine.
