it was a good experience. short lived because of the merger with Thermofisher. Learned a lot in oncology and CRA team management. not the direction my career took off in
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 6 months. I interviewed at PPD (Madrid) in Mar 2014
Interview
Consultant is not speaking truth, not forwarding information, which leads to major misunderstandings.
The level of the position and title was not defined and not clear, not using the usual standard levels and titles (although they used them in the ad). The company used references of their own and questioned my colleagues without letting me know. Some of the items agreed during the interview process were not respected nor implemented.
They greeted me and asked me a few questions tested my english and then I answered them and I passed the interview. Then they offered me a job and I declined it cuz I wanted a better offer
The process took 2 days. I interviewed at PPD (Cary, NC)
Interview
It was one video interview with a People Manager and Director. It started with general conversation then moved to CV review. I was asked to talk through my CV and they asked related questions. Behavior based questions followed. It wrapped up with "why PPD" and decision timelines and communication.
