I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Kaiser Permanente (Oakland, CA) in Nov 2009
Interview
I had a phone interview with the recruiter, followed by three in person interviews (two scheduled for the same day). I interviewed with a peer, a subordinate (weird!), my future boss and his boss. Questions were pretty basic, no surprises. They were eager to fill the position and shared a lot about the organization.
