I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Kaiser Permanente (San Francisco, CA) in Jun 2011
Interview
The interview was really fun. I know you really can't say that about most interviews, but the two individuals interviewing me for this position were intelligent, friendly, and engaging.
I was lucky to go straight from the online application to filling out an additional set of questions after my resume/application was reviewed (intended to assess my skill level in various areas) to the in-person interview, as usually there is a phone interview prior to a 1:1 interview) because I happened to be in the city interviewing for other positions over the period of time my phone interview was scheduled. The interview questions were really easy for me to answer because the job fit perfectly with my past experience; the questions were focused on assessing my technical, analytic and interpersonal skills.
Despite the fact that I got three really great job offers over those few days, this company really made an impression on me because of the culture and the fact that my new boss(es) would really be fantastic; I accepted the position.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Kaiser Permanente (Redwood City, CA) in Oct 2022

How to handle pressure and conflict in work, excel skills
Email exchange with recruiter. She told me Senior Financial Analyst role pays $84k base salary. I told her that's really low for a senior level when just about all companies in the bay area can get you towards $100k.
Not willing to renegotiate even though recruiter thought my qualifications met the position
