Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Why are you interested in the payer provider team versus others?
A manager reached out and had gone through my resume already. Asked me some questions relevant to the role and gave more insight into what the role would involve. There was no follow-up after that so I reached out and they said they were moving things around including that role.
I had a very disappointing experience with Guidehouse’s recruiting process and feel it’s important to warn other candidates.
During the Christmas period, HR (Jonas) scheduled an initial HR call with me for a brief “getting to know each other” conversation. After that, he asked me to send my availability for the second week of January, which I did promptly. Then there was no response for a long time.
Later, he finally replied saying that someone from the Finance department (Lily) liked my resume and asked about my availability for the following week. I replied again with my available time slots immediately.
After that — silence for more than a week and a half.
Eventually, instead of any update or explanation, I received an automatic system rejection email.
This entire process showed a serious lack of professionalism and basic respect for candidates’ time. If the position was already closed or no longer available, a simple update would have been the minimum courtesy.
HR representatives like Jonas reflect the company culture. Based on this experience, I would strongly recommend candidates to think carefully before investing time with this company.
