I applied online. The process took 8 months. I interviewed at Kaiser Permanente (Berkeley, CA) in Oct 2014
Interview
I applied online and was called by the recruiter. Recruiter was pleasant and went over my resume and my expectations. The phone screen was followed by a telephone conversation with the hiring manager and 2 panel telephone interviews. Interview team was very professional and pleasant. After about a month or so I was invited to a on site interview. The negotiation process was very slow and lengthy.
