They mostly use the STAR Method for interviewing. I interviewed with 3 different people at the management level. Positive experience overall. There's also a screening with HR prior to the in-person interview.
I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at PPD
Interview
Met with three individuals. Interview took about 2-3 hours and was onsite. Asked STAR related questions. Everyone was nice and easy to talk too. Job is very so based on organization and time management skills. Focus your answers on these two aspects to help. Do know they will call references so ensure you have good resources.
