PSI CRO interview questions

The interview process started with a quick call from someone in the HR department with straightforward questions. Next came a very, very technical 1+ hour interview with two statisticians. It was rapid fire questions about statistical principals, clinical trials, regulatory guidelines, and SAS. The interviewers felt extremely cold and only seemed interested in if I could spit out the correct answer to each question on demand. Seemed more like I was taking a test than doing an interview. They seemed more interested in if I could answer technical questions on the spot than my background and work experience. It did not seem like a good place to work.

There were 3 interviewers (Clinical Operation Manager, Local Translator and HR Generalist) and the interview went rather smoothly. The HR Generalist was mainly in charge of the interview, while the local translator asked questions related to the job role as a translator (since he has more relevant work experience). Overall, it's a great company and the interview was very pleasant. I would definitely consider applying for a job at this company again in the future.
