I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Kaiser Permanente (Oakland, CA) in Oct 2012
Interview
The entire process took over a month because the hiring manager went on vacation for a month. But after she came back, everything went fast and smoothly. A phone call, followed by two interview sessions, each with three individuals, and finally a chat with the director of the department.

Question 1
There was no difficulty nor any unexpected questions.
I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Kaiser Permanente
Interview
Screening with HR, then Hiring Manager Interview, Interview Panel with four members of the US team. There was a hostile atmosphere in the panel, as if they don't want to hire you because their job could be ripped off (US Operations are being moved to offshore locations like India or Costa Rica). You could feel malicious intention with some of the questions made, as if the panel wanted you to fail on purpose.

Question 1
Solve LeetCode Hard #30, Substring with Concatenation of All Words
A couple rounds with members of the team, very straightforward conversations to get to know me and the work that I do well. I felt very comfortable sharing my experience.
The HR team was prompt and professional in scheduling and coordinating the interviews. They provided clear instructions and timely updates throughout the process, which helped alleviate any anxiety or uncertainty.
