Cerner Interview Questions & Reviews

Interview Details Tech questions: chess design,test cases,foo..etc (same from other reviews)

Initial phone call, trip to Kansas! Not any different from other reviews. It all depends on how you answer behavioral questions. Do your best in interview and hope for the best! Even if it goes great, just don't be so sure about it and keep looking for other jobs!!
I think they prefer fresh graduates over someone with 1-2years of experience!
They will let know within one week even if you're not selected. It was a good experience for me, I would recommend going for the interview.

Interview Details After seeing my resume on Dice,I was asked to apply for Velocity Software Engineer position at cerner,com by a cerner associate.I had a phone call the next day,where I was given a brief description about Velocity Training program and she told that she would contact me back for a phone interview.The phone interview was all about questions regarding my projects.I have a technical interview scheduled this week.

Interview Details Used school career link to find position.
Initial phone screening interview.
1 week later, technical phone interview.
1 week later, schedule to go to KC, MO for on site interviews.
2 back to back interviews. They have packets with ALL the same questions that are already on glassdoor.

Reason for Declining – Got another offer, It was hard to decline. I actually liked the company A LOT, but moving would be a pain.

Interview Details I submitted an application online. I got a call a few days later. Recruiter asked me a few basic questions then offered me an interview at the World Headquarters in Kansas City. They put us (group of 40-50) in a hotel and took us out to dinner at a delicious Italian restaurant. The next day we went to the campus. The interview was first. Three different managers interview each person. They ask about your background and why you want to work at Cerner. They are making sure you have good communication skills and will be flexible on the position you are ultimately given. The point of the interviews are to see if you will fit in with the Cerner culture.

Negotiation Details – I did not negotiate I knew the ballpark range that they offer from glassdoor and they were in the maximum already. I got very close to what I asked for so no need to negotiate.

Interview Details Second round, Technical Phone Screen : 30 - 45 min. Mostly expect behavioral questions and some technical questions. All found already on glassdoor. No new questions. The below questions were asked ONLY in tech phone screen.

Interview Details I had about a 30-minute phone conversation, then got an email a few days later saying that they wanted me to come in for an on-sight interview. I went to that and met with 3 different interviewers for 30 minutes each. There were about 20 of us interviewing that morning. They really take a shotgun approach to hiring new employees. One of the ladies interviewing me said they averaged about 30 or so interviews a day... so don't expect to feel very special.

Interview Details Completed first round of on campus interviews. The recruiters were very friendly. It was a little difficult to understand the actual job I was interviewing for. With Cerner, if you are hired out of college, you're typically hired into the "Velocity" program. This is essentially a training program within the company for specific types of roles (software engineer, consultants, sales, etc.). As part of the program you initially go through a lot of training, pertaining to the Cerner software products and any other specific skills requried for your role. You then typically go through a couple rotations where you work in several different groups within the company. At then end of your rotations you are placed with a particular group/team based on the particular needs of the team and how your skills align.

Negotiation Details – Did not negotiate. Package was very competitive. I'm not aware of Cerner ever negotiating compensation for college hires.

Interview Details 3 Step process.
1 - HR call
2 - Tech call

Same questions as posted earlier, however, be prepared for tweaked and modified questions on topics mentioned in earlier postings.
