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.

I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Kaiser Permanente (Greenwood Village, Arapahoe, CO) in Jun 2015
Interview
Team managers phone screen about 30 minutes and 1-hour F2F onsite, both had multiple people in them. Typical background, technical, situational and behavioral types of questions. After they contacted me and going thru the interviews, fed & local background checks, drug screening, offer acceptance and HR policy agreement and the entire hiring process for 3-weeks, I was called by the recruiter after the 4th of July and told that the project had been cancelled because all funding had disappeared.

Question 1
Funding had been pulled back by their senior leadership and most non-essential hiring was going to slow or completely stop for awhile. Apparently KP is having major financial and leadership issues this summer because of ongoing labor negotiations. I do not have a favorable impression of them anymore, they just left me hanging with no path forward anymore except to say since they invested the time and effort into recruiting me, once the management approves new headcount and funds, I will be a top candidate. That was 4-weeks ago and not a word so nothing has changed. Many other people were impacted too here in the area.
