I applied online. I interviewed at Penn Medicine (Philadelphia, PA) in May 2026
Interview
I applied and was reached out to within two weeks by the supervisor of the division for an in person interview with her and the lead surgical pathology coordinator. The interview did not truly seem like an interview, as I was barely being asked questions (no behavioral or technical) but very basic questions with little follow up. The interviewer explicitly stated the recruiter would reach out with a pre-onboarding questionnaire and following that, my resume would be directed to a compensation analyst and the lead stated she would defintely be in touch. I completed the sent questionnaire and I expected that I was waiting to be cleared for an offer. Instead, I was ghosted for seven weeks with any attempts for an update were entirely ignored, including when I directly asked if the requisition was filled. I was sent a form rejection containing two sentences a week later. I found out from an employee that an internal candidate was hired. A very poor coordination, unprofessional and low candidate empathy process.
The interview was Very basic. It was More conversational than interview. Manager asked about boundaries with patients and "why hospice". Asked of course about my previous experience and how I got to the interview
Initial call with HR for pre-screening questions. Followed by sit down interview with Access Manager and Pre-Service team Manager. Conversational style interview with situation based questions/prompts followed by shadowing a NPC on the floor.
