Phone interview with a recruiter asking about qualifications, such as if I hold any degrees, etc. The recruiter then scheduled me for a 1 hour video interview with 2 people, behavioral questions. They were STAR related questions
The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Aetna in Mar 2010
Interview
Initially the hiring process is rather automated. They have HR representatives that will contact you if your qualifications will fit the job role. From there they ask very simple questions, and schedule a phone interview. The phone interview gets a little more in depth with standard interview questions. If your phone interview is successful they will set up a face to face interview with a hiring manager for the position. The HR by phone will tell you the interview will take approximately 30 minutes. I was there for nearly two hours, but clearly that was a good thing since I was hired. I always make a point to ask lots of questions and research the company before hand. I am to get the interviewer to talk more than I do, which is what ended up happening after lots of thorough questions. After having a successful interview with the team lead, she called the team manager who sat with me for another one on one interview.

None of the questions were particularly hard, but the only one I can really remember is how do you set up your day for success?

Interview
1st contact was from a recruiter on 11/30/21. Tried to call back, no response. A 2nd recruiter called me the following week for a 15 min phone screen and said she would forward my resume to the hiring dept. A couple days later, the 1st recruiter called again for a phone screen. I asked if he works with the other recruiter, because I had a very similar call already. He said "oh yes, she must have forgotten to take your name off the call list." This recruiter actually scheduled me for an interview the following week 12/14. I received an email with details for my interview with David Carpenter the day before the interview. I was under the impression the Zoom interview would be with him, but when I joined the meeting it was a woman. She said she was one of the supervisors. She said they recently changed the name of the position I applied for, but she couldn't remember the new name. (????) She seemed very disorganized, asking irrelevant and vague, confusing questions and seemed irritated when I asked for clarification. She had zero people skills, making the entire interview extremely uncomfortable and awkward. She said a recruiter would reach out to me within 2 weeks. On 12/23, I received an email from a recruiter stating that they would like to move me forward to the next step, and to complete an official application. I submitted this, then waited for a while with no communication. Then, on 1/12 I received an email stating I was not selected for the position. It seems like they round as many people up as possible (like cattle) and waste their time.
