Interviewed Aug 2011 in Austin, TX (took a day)
I interviewed with 3 people - 1 by phone, 2 f2f and individually. The first one went fine. The second person wasn't a very good interviewer. One question was "how do you read a protocol?". Another question was "what is your process of mentoring CRAs?". If your not a LM, there really is no written process.

Interviewed Jul 2011 in Durham, NC (took a day)
The interview process was unorganized and ridiculous. I was told to arrive at the wrong building, only to be shuffled back and forth between buildings. I interviewed with 4 different groups of people. They all asked behavioral type questions (tell me about a time when ... blah blah ). Some of the groups of people even asked the same exact questions. They didn't ask me to talk about my overall experience. When I asked them about the job responsibilities, each group of people told me different things. I was confused and exhausted after several hours of being drilled. It was not constructive at all.

Interviewed Feb 2011 in Blue Bell, PA (took 3 weeks)
First I was interviewd by phone with HR, then with manager which was super great. I passed that phone interview and asked to take two tests medical terminology and computer skill before 1:1 interview. They sent me to the closest location which is in Blue Bell PA, I was interviewed by three people about 3 hours, there were most behavior questions that i think answred well, its all about work situations from your past, And also careful screen of resume.

Interviewed Feb 2011 in Richmond, VA (took 2 months)
I applied for the job from a different city (quite far away). I had a phone screen first from HR, then a telephone interview, and then they flew me in for separate face-to-face interviews with three people. PPD paid for the plane ticket, rental car, hotel room, breakfast at the hotel, and lunch. I flew out on the same day I flew in, making for a rather long day (6 hour flight). Other than that, everything was good. Nice room, etc.
Interview Questions
Negotiation Details
I asked for and received the maximum pay in the range quoted by HR. Their ranges are really low. Even the maximum in their range is 10% less than the average for my job. After speaking with my potential boss, I gained enough confidence to ask for relocation assistance. They did give me something, but only 1/2 of my actual costs. The economy is tight these days (they can easily offshore our jobs), so try to think of what it's worth to them. Try to be fair, but not too greedy. They are pinching pennies at this time.
