I applied online. I interviewed at PPD (Wilmington, NC) in Aug 2020
Interview
Had a 10 minute preliminary interview that was informal. Got called a couple weeks later HR to schedule another interview with hiring manager. Hiring manager interview lasted about 15 minutes and was just a simple walk through my resume and a brief propaganda for the company than a couple days later I interviewed with my future Line Manager and this interview lasted about 30 minutes where we discussed how my experiences and where I was able to ask questions. During my final interview I was told I I had the job as long as my requested salary was in range and I passed the background check. I got the acceptance letter a couple weeks after that. During the interviews I wasn't quizzed out asked hypothetical questions, I could tell they were just checking my qualifications and to see if I would be a fit

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.
