I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Premera Blue Cross (Mountlake Terrace, WA) in Sep 2012
Interview
Hour long phone interview in early September. Scheduled for an in person interview about a week later. Panel style interview, went from 1pm til about 4:30pm. First round was 2 managers interviewing the 5 of us round robin style. Everyone got the same questions, they just rotated who answered first. About 8 or 9 questions asked. After that 4 candidates were invited to stay for the 2nd round. A higher up manager entered the room and asked his own series of round robin questions, again about 8 or 9 each. On a side note i REALLY liked getting the first and second round interviews all done in one fell swoop as opposed to having to leave, wait days for a decision, then make arrangements to come back.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Talk about a process or policy you didnt agree with in your last job and what did you do to resolve that.

Interview
The interviewing process was the most unprofessional process that I’ve ever experienced.
Filled out application and got a response maybe 2 days later saying that they wanted to move forward with a live interview. Scheduled the live interview. Spent time prepping as one should only for the interviewer not to show up on the scheduled day and time. Very disappointing but i understand things happen. So I reach out to them and reschedule. Luckily this time she shows up but never acknowledges or apologizes for them mishap the week prior. That’s a big red flag for me.
The interview went good. Was instructed to send in speed test results and that a someone would contact in a few days with next steps. I sent in the information they requested and sent a thank you email to my interviewer. No response. Not from the information they asked me to send in or from the thank you email. 2 weeks pass and I didn’t hear anything. No follow up.. nothing. I made a decision then that I would never work for this company. To unorganized and lack of accountability. First impressions are important. I understand that things happen but if you are not following up with potential candidates how are you treating the employees you already have. Disappointing for sure

I went to an hiring fair held at a local hotel near the main campus. It was fast paced, but very efficient. Altogether the whole process was average with good communication.
