Medpace Associate Clinical Trial Manager interview questions

I was asked to prepare a presentation for the interview, which started with a heavy focus on the company’s identity and growth. They posed questions about their market position compared to other CROs and the distinctions between organic growth and acquisitions. After my presentation, the discussion shifted to my CV and how I could fit the role. However, I found the questions to be overly broad, often expecting very specific answers (e.g., "What does leadership mean?"- they were just looking for accountability if it helps anyone :)). The atmosphere felt unwelcoming, which is ironic given that the interviewers cited 'friendly people' as their favourite aspect of working at Medpace. Interviews are a two-way process — while candidates are evaluated, the company should also present its culture positively. A more open and approachable environment would help candidates feel valued and better assess whether the company is a place they’d want to invest their future !
