Interview Details First was a phone screen by an HR rep. That took about a 1/2 hour. Didn't hear anything back for several weeks. Eventually got the call for an on-site interview. The interview lasted from 1:00-5:00 with multiple employees. The first girl interviewed me and then they left me alone in a conference room for a 1/2 hour which I thought was weird. Then I interviewed with 6 more people. While I did pretty well with most of the UHC team, I didn't share the same methodology as one key player so I knew it wasn't going to be a good fit for either side. The security desk was professional and the building was nice.
Interview Question – Most unexpected question / discussion came in the final interview from the actual highering manager. They were very up-front about what the job was really going to be like (as opposed to what was in the official job description). It's a good thing they did, because they true day-to-day job wasn't a good fit for my background. Answer Question

No Offer – Interviewed in Denver, CO (US) Oct 2012 – Reviewed Jan 26, 2013
Interview Details This position was a telecommunicating position. I would have been working out of a home office. Co-workers would be located all over the US. I had 2 interviews, both of which were phone interviews. Both phone interviews were disconcerting for me. I prefer face to face in person interviews. Phone interviews seem so impersonal and do not allow me to get feedback from body language, facial expressions, etc. I did not get a job offer, and the employer did not demonstrate the common courtesy of notifying me when I had been eliminated from consideration.
Interview Question – Are you a fox, lion, or turtle? Answer Question
Accepted Offer – Interviewed on Greensboro, NC (US) May 2012 – Reviewed Jan 10, 2013
Interview Details Feels like being recruited by the FBI. My app was rejected twice then I was selected for phone interview. From there went to site to do online assessment and next 2nd phone interview. Finally a interview with the Training Director and offer a few days later. They were straightforward with the salary amount of $14.90/hr. They sold the possibility of bonuses as well.
Interview Question – I was asked to give situational examples of when I showed initiative, caring, concern, etc. Answer Question
Accepted Offer – Interviewed in Fort Washington, PA (US) – Reviewed Sep 16, 2012
Interview Details Hiring is done by a 3rd party vendor. You fill out a long application on-line. I guess there was some glitch because I completed everything but it was not showing as completed on their side. Received some frantic phone calls because they were getting ready to rescind the offer but everything was eventually resolved.
Interview Question – It was a behavioral interview, ie - give me an example of a situation where you made a mistake and how you resolved it. View Answer
Negotiation Details – This was really easy. I got an offer from the manager of my unit, which was the salary at my last job, which was listed on the on-line profile I completed. I countered and asked for $6,000 more and they agreed to $2,000.

Interview Details The pre-interview process went very smoothly. I was asked to a do a series of phone interviews and this was a little disorganized - a few missed connections. I finally connected with all the right people, and was ultimately brought in for an in person interview. Then.... job put on hold. I received another job offer from a different company shortly after and let them know I was no longer available.
Interview Question – Not really most difficult but the job required a re-lo and I was asked a number of questions to confirm my interest in moving to the area. Answer Question
Accepted Offer – Interviewed in Minneapolis, MN (US) – Reviewed Aug 29, 2012
Interview Details I met with a company representative at a college fair, briefly discussed my interest and the position, and left her with my resume. Within a week, I was contacted by a recruiter to set up a first-round interview, which was a forty-minute in-person panel interview with two potential supervisors. After about a week, I was contacted for a second-round interview divided into one-on-ones with two new people as well as one of the original interviewers. I later learned that this round of interviews was dedicated to determining personality fit; it was more informal, but also perhaps more in-depth and important. I received an offer a few weeks after the second round.
Interview Question – Lots of difficult/creative questions-- they were definitely trying to get away from canned responses to do real off-the-cuff behavioral based interviewing. The one that caught me most off guard was when I was asked point-blank if working at a large health insurance company would be too boring. Answer Question
