I applied through a recruiter. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at Kaiser Permanente (Pasadena, CA)
Interview
First there was a panel telephone conference, then an inperson panel interview. Final decision took quite some time as did the paperwork, health screen, etc. But the compensation plan made the delays worth it.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
How would you handle (this particular impossible situation)? Several 'how would you handle..." questions. This is still done today, to see if a particular individual #1 has the appropriate knowledge to work in our field, but also to see how they will fit in. We are very much a team and need to function that way.
