I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at PPD (Wilmington, NC) in May 2016
Interview
The questions were all about my experience in analyzing data and how well I knew excel. Basic interview. I walked in and the nice HR representative lead to me the conference room. The interview was one on one. They pretty much pushed me out though in 15 minutes because they had to interview so many people. I didn't get the job but it was because I lacked experience.
