I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at PPD in Mar 2012
Interview
Three hour interview - 1 hour with each manager. Mostly done on the phone in a conference room. Basic interview questions. It did take a long time with much follow up to get an answer on what was happening regarding hiring. HR was very helpful, but were waiting on the department to make decisions.
Overall, it was a standard interview process. There are 2 interviews: 1. with the recruiter and 2. with the managers. The recruiter was very nice and made me feel comfortable.
