PPD interviews FAQs
Here are the most commonly searched roles for interview reports -
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at PPD in Dec 2020
Interview
I first had a casual screening phone call with the recruiter. She then set up a call with the hiring manager. It was an hour long phone call to get to know me and my experience. It was rather informal and casual.
Following that call I was scheduled to interview with two directors. They asked me to present on a project I've done. The remaining interview questions were mainly centered around their principles.

Question 1
Explain the importance of time, cost, quality. Provide an example of a time/project and how you factored these elements in.
I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at PPD (Taguig) in Oct 2019
Interview
Screening process was quite strict. They really make a background check with your previous companies. The rest of the application and interview process was smooth. Depending on the position you're applying for, they will give you a sample task to work on after the interview.

Question 1
Q: Do you have any background in Pharmacovigilance?
They mostly use the STAR Method for interviewing. I interviewed with 3 different people at the management level. Positive experience overall. There's also a screening with HR prior to the in-person interview.
