Intimidating at first -- interview moved very fast, interviewers asked a lot of specific questions, hypothetical situations, etc. However, I spent about 5 hours preparing for the interview using the resources provided by them ahead of time and my prep definitely helped a lot. Definitely utilize those resources and don't go into it blindly, regardless of your experience in the field.

Interview
The interview process was professional, well-organized, and conducted in a friendly atmosphere. I had an interview with both a local manager and a regional manager. The questions focused on my professional experience, transferable skills, and understanding of clinical research processes.
The interviewers were respectful and encouraged open communication, making the conversation feel more like a discussion than an interrogation. The process was conducted in English and provided a good opportunity to demonstrate both technical knowledge and communication skills.
Overall, it was a positive experience. The only challenge was the waiting period after the interview, which can feel a bit long when you are eager to receive feedback.
