Average interview
Application
I applied through university. I interviewed at The Cigna Group in Sept 2019
Interview
Submitted my application via school career site. 3 interviews: 1st one was via zoom and asked basic questions. 2nd one was the same thing except a little more in depth. I was told the 3rd was a visit to one of the Cigna offices but I did not progress that far in the process
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Tell me about a time when you had to handle a difficult problem
There were 3 total interview phases and the whole process took up to 2/3 months. It was all ONLINE bc of covid.
The first interview was with a current member of the program and a graduate of the program. They asked basic behavioral questions and asked me to go through my resume and explain my healthcare experience.
The second interview was with a Program manager and they asked more behavioral questions in regards to how you perform in a team and also asked about my resume. After this I actually made it to the final round.
The final round is actually called Super Day and is broken into two days. Usually they fly the candidates out to Nashville but bc of covid it was all online. The first night is a speed networking event with the employees and honestly it was really great and super chill. The second day was super busy! It consisted of multiple interviews, a presentation (that we prepare), and a case study (which we will not get till the day off).
All in all this was a great experience because the company and program culture is amazing! They offer so much support to the recruits and everyone is always willing to step in and help! There is so much potential for growth here!

Interview
Made it to stage 2/3, still waiting to hear back to see whether I moved on. Each stage was web based (covid era). First stage had two past employees that went through the program. Second stage was with Program Manager. Everyone I came into contact with was nice and welcoming.

I applied online. I interviewed at The Cigna Group in Oct 2020
Interview
The interview process consisted of 3 stages. I made it to the 2nd stage. I was withdrawn from consideration after receiving an offer for a different Cigna program. All interviews were virtual due to COVID-19.
1st Interview: 30-minute behavioral interview with two current MCRP associates. One in their first year and the other in their second. They switched off on asking me questions and usually followed up with additional questions relating to my answers. The people I spoke to were warm and welcoming.
2nd interview: 45-minute behavioral interview with Program Manager from HR. We got through the behavioral questions pretty quickly (~30 min), so the rest of the time I got to ask her questions. She was welcoming but new to Cigna so she didn't have much experience with MCRP.
