I applied online. The process took 8 weeks. I interviewed at Kaiser Permanente in May 2012
Interview
Muti-layered, repetitive process. Phone interview w/ hiring manager approx. 3 weeks after application. Then, 3 question test. Then, panel interview with 9-11 people. Each layer involved answering very similar questions. Would have had 1-2 more interviews if had not withdrawn from process.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
We think you are over-qualfied, why should we hire you...
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Kaiser Permanente (Santa Rosa, CA) in Jul 2010
Interview
Group interviews are the most common. I interviewed with around 35 people for 3 openings. They sit you all in a room, pass around a hat with easy questions, and you stand up and answer. They also gave us 1 minute to learn about the person next to us, then pitch them for 2 minutes to the interviewers.

Question 1
The most difficult question was the team exercise in which you are given 60 seconds to learn as much as possible about your neighbor, then have to pitch them to the interviewers for 2 minutes. Mainly hard because you talk for twice as long as you learned.
