I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Parexel (Research Triangle Park, NC)
Interview
Less than positive interview experience.
Had an initial interview with a recruiter for the company. The person literally spent the first 15 minutes of the phone call complaining (almost boasting) about how they were in grad school full time, and working, and how exhausted they were. I found it to be odd.
They then said another recruiter would be in contact with me. 2nd person e-mailed me same day to suggest times to talk. I e-mailed back same day. No response. For 3 days. I followed up again via e-mail and we scheduled a time by phone. Talked for ~30 minutes. Said they would be back in touch in a few days. I e-mailed a few days later, asking about a update. No response. 2 weeks later, still no response.
Even if a decision hasn’t been made (or a decision has been made and they have moved forward with another candidate), let people KNOW! There is really no excuse to leave people hanging in limbo. Doesn’t give a great impression of the company.

Interview
Casual, easy questions. I was interviewed by different team members from across the world.
