Applied for the CRA position at the end of June and then about a week later was contact saying they wanted to set up a phone interview with me. I did the phone interview the second week in July. The phone interview took about 45 minutes and they asked questions about my resume and also told me a lot about the position so that I could get a good sense on if the job would be a good fit for me as well as if they thought I would be a good fit for the position. Later that same day after the phone interview, they emailed me saying they wanted to set up an in person interview with me as soon as possible. I set up my in person interview for the following week. The in person interview took almost 2 hours. I met with one CRA manager, and then I met with two CRA managers and then met with a person from HR. Each person/group that I met with took about 30 minutes each. I also had to write an essay about the CRA position. During the Interview I was asked about my resume, what qualities I had that would make me a great CRA, as well as, why I thought I was a good fit for the position. After the in person interview it took just over a week to hear back from Medpace. I applied for the CRA position but since I did not have the background to be a CRA they instead offered me a position as a Senior Intern (which is a full-time position with benefits and everything). The Senior Intern position is just a 6 month position so that Medpace can train you to become a CRA. I was offered the position and I accepted and I started less than 2 weeks after I was offered the position.

The most unexpected question for me I think was when they asked why I was not still trying to go in the direction my degree was in. However I explained that I liked my degree but did not see myself in that position anymore, but that the classes I did take in college set me up well for this position, and they understood and agreed with me on that.

Wenig transparente Bewerbungsprozess!
Es kam in diesem Bewerbungsprozess zu keinem persönlichen oder telefonischen Vorstellungsgespräch. Der gesamte Prozess bestand ausschliesslich aus einem Online-Assessment. Diese dauerte ca. 90 Minuten.
Mir wurde ein Medical Record zu einem konkreten Fall aus einer klinischen Studie zur Verfügung gestellt (ca. 40 Seiten A4). Die Aufgabe bestand darin, diesen wie im Monitoring zu analysieren, Abweichungen und Inkonsistenzen zur Studiendokumentation zu identifizieren und einen strukturierten Bericht nach Template zu erstellen. Die Antworten wurden präzise und klar eingetragen (Englisch) und fristgerecht als PDF zurückgesendet.
Die Auswertung dieses Assessments dauerte insgesamt fast drei Wochen. nach zwei Wochen ohne jegliche Rückmeldung musste ich selbst eine Erinnerung per E-Mail senden. Erst etwa eine weitere Woche später erhielt ich eine negative Rückmeldung mit der Mitteilung, dass ich für den weiteren Bewerbungsprozess nicht berücksichtigt wurde.
Für ein Zeitlich begrenztes Assessments erscheint eine Bearbeitungszeit von drei Wochen aus meiner Sicht sehr lang. Zudem wechselten während des Prozesses mehrfach die Ansprechpartner. Es war nicht klar, wer Teil von HR ist, wer für die Bewertung des Assessments zuständig war und wer der primäre Ansprechpartner ist.
Die Kommunikation erfolgte parallel über E-Mail und LinkedIn, was den Überblick zusätzlich erschwert hat und insgesamt zu unprofessionellen Eindruck des Unternehmens geführt hat.

Straight forward. Your typical questions and had to present to the manager on a topic. I felt there was not much difficulty and they were pretty clear about what they wanted.
