I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Kaiser Permanente
Interview
Kaiser is a large and (interview wise) slow moving company - I had 5 separate stages to my interview which ultimately ended with an offer extended about 3 months after the process began. So, if for financial reasons you need a job immediately, this may not be the place for you.
The interviews were 2 phone, 3 in-person, the last of which was an informal lunch. The questions were fairly standard about past experience, how have you dealt with challenges, give examples of past experience and what you learned etc.
There was also a fairly standard business writing test administered during one of the onsite meetings - It took about 30Min.

Question 1
I was changing job focus from one focus to Project Management - Explaining why I was interested in project management and how it would be a fit long term was difficult. Especially because it is a wide open question that forces you to be descriptive yet to the point.
Lengthy process, interviews are friendly but impersonal. Some interviewers seemed inexperienced and strictly followed scripted questions. The process took several months from the first interview to the time I received an offer.

Question 1
Tell me about a time you had to deal with a difficult colleague
Phone then in person with hiring manager. Might send you out via flight as needed based on job type. I now need 30 words at minimum to complete this section.
I applied online. The process took 4 months. I interviewed at Kaiser Permanente in Jul 2023
Interview
I went through 3 rounds of interviews and they did not get back to me until four months later. Also, before my 2nd interview, the recruiter reached out to me on Sunday to let me know I had to create a detailed presentation a day before my interview. The whole process revealed to me that the organization lacked effective communication.
