First-hand accounts from people who interviewed at Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Minnesota.
Software Development Engineer
Found out about the Senior Software Development Engineer opening at BCBS of Minnesota through LinkedIn. Applied via the company's career portal. A Talent Advisor from the Talent Acquisition team reached out within a week to set up an initial phone screen. Had a 30-minute call with the Talent Advisor discussing my background, experience, and what I'm looking for in the role. The following week, I had a panel interview with team members where we talked about technical skills and past projects. A week after that, I interviewed with the hiring manager, focusing on behavioral questions, problem-solving approaches, and teamwork. Got feedback from HR about a week later and then received an offer.

Financial Underwriter
The interview process was outstanding—by far the best I’ve experienced. Within a couple of days of applying, a recruiter contacted me to schedule a Zoom interview. During the 45-minute conversation, we discussed my previous experience and my transition from a financial role to a medical insurance role. The recruiter was warm and welcoming and explained that the next steps could take up to a week. Just 48 hours later, I received an invitation for the next round of interviews with flexible scheduling options. This was a virtual, four-person panel interview lasting about 50 minutes. The interviewers were professional, and their questions were clear and well-structured. They also outlined expectations and next steps, which gave me confidence in the process. After the interview, it was evident that the company’s culture and management style aligned perfectly with what I was seeking. A few days later, the recruiter reached out with an offer, which I gladly accepted.
- Describe a situation where you had to deliver bad news.
Business Implementation Lead
The interview process involved a recruiter chat and then two rounds of interviews. It was super helpful getting to know Coupe Health as a business and meeting the people I'd be working with directly. Learning about the role from those already in it was great too. The 30-minute interview felt a little fast-paced for the questions asked, but all in all, it was a fantastic experience!
- How would you influence and guide others towards a solution without having direct authority over them?
Population Health Design Consultant
The interview process started with a challenging and engaging first round that lasted an hour and focused on exchanges typical of a standard interview. The second 30-minute round involved a senior leader who reviewed an organizational chart instead of assessing my qualifications for the role. This was a red flag about the organization's potential for an unfair or unethical culture, which is concerning given the current focus on equitable programs.
