I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at PPD (Wayne, PA) in Aug 2015
Interview
The whole process took about a month. It took 2 weeks to get back tome about my resume and then 2 weeks for them to get back to me about the interview. They didn't really ask too many questions, it was more of them describing what the position was going to be.
Very friendly fairly easy. Very helpful when moving offered me a list of apartments to look into. Thorough interview with different parts of the team I was to be working with at the time
Panel interview with three people then the director. Only one person at a time. One interview was technical questions, others were typical interview questions. Started with a “tell me more about…” from your resume.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What’s the difference between gram negative and gram positive bacteria?
I applied online. I interviewed at PPD (Richmond, VA)
Interview
Was not very well put together. The interviewers were essentially falling asleep as soon as they came in. It was not a good experience overall. The interview process is long, with interviewers who don’t engage with the interviewee.
