First-hand accounts from people who interviewed at Cencora.
Operations Manager
I got an email with a link to set up a phone screen with a Talent Acquisition Specialist. They asked more behavioral questions than I've encountered in most phone screens, which I think is good.
- Can you share your reasons for leaving your current job and for applying to this role?
- Describe a situation where you improved key performance indicators (KPIs).
- Tell me about an instance where you focused on developing your team.
Operations Manager
Usually one interview with the hiring manager, but sometimes there are two. Getting a response takes a really long time. You can get feedback if you ask for it.
- Describe a project you were assigned, including its outcome.
Operations Manager
The process started with an initial phone screen, followed by three in-person interviews scheduled with senior leadership. The questions were typical behavioral-based questions. Initially, things seemed to go okay, but then two of the three scheduled interviewers didn't show up for the first in-person. I interviewed with one person, which went well, and we set up another in-person for later that week. For that next interview, again, one of the two scheduled interviewers didn't show up. After my second in-person, I was told to call the next Monday to schedule the final in-person interview. I called four times as instructed, but no one got back to me. On my fourth try, I asked to pull my name from consideration. Almost immediately, they responded saying they'd decided not to move forward with the final interview. Overall, I liked the two senior staff I met, but the overall vibe of the team and the environment wasn't for me. Honestly, overhearing conversations made it feel like a high school cafeteria. A lot of the chatter I heard as people left for lunch was totally inappropriate for work, especially in front of guests, and it felt like a place I'd want to escape from quickly. In the end, it worked out okay, and I hope they found someone suitable.
- Can you tell me about a time you had to handle a challenging customer situation?
