We started with a screening call to set up a virtual interview. The second interview was about an hour long. The questions were pretty standard, with the last 15 minutes focused on a technical question about geospatial reasoning.

The hiring manager and another program manager were on the panel. It was a super friendly and cordial process. I got a call back with a conditional offer within the promised week, but the onboarding took another 30 days to get the background check, reference check, and drug screening done, and then get management sign-off.

Behavioral Group
I applied for a few of these jobs, and when they got in touch, I wasn't sure which position it was for. I went in for an interview with a panel of 3 managers. They asked me a bunch of questions, told me about the benefits, and mentioned I probably wouldn't hear back for about a month to a month and a half because of some reasons. I've been through this before and never heard back, so it's confusing why they keep calling me, especially since the same managers keep reaching out and interviewing me. It's really frustrating because it's already been over a month. They never tell you if you got the job, you're just left waiting until eventually you stop hearing from them. I'm at that point now. They need a better system for letting candidates know what's happening. It's not fair to leave them hanging.

Behavioral Technical
I applied online in February 2021 and got a call in April 2021 for an interview in May 2021 over Teams. The interview started about 10 minutes late, which wasn't a great start. There were three managers present, one each from Work First, Adult Medicaid, and F&C Medicaid. Two managers asked questions while the third seemed sleepy, probably because it was after lunch. They asked a lot of questions, some of which seemed random and unrelated to my experience. Afterwards, they mentioned they were interviewing others that day and would discuss to make a hiring decision, but no timeline was provided. I've interviewed with them before, so I'm not expecting to hear back unless they already have someone in mind. I'll update if I get an offer.
