Behavioral Technical
It was a very long process with many different people to meet. I didn't hear anything back for about a month and a half after the first interview. The whole thing took a really long time, and I wasn't really kept in the loop about where things stood.

Behavioral Technical
I was first screened by HR. The interview was pretty basic but it did have computer skills testing. The tests are flawed and - frustratingly - do not show accurate results. Don't judge HMS by their HR. I found them to be quite stern - very different from the friendly, collegial employees who make up the majority of HMS. Second interviews are with the direct hiring manager. Any further interviews depend on the size of the department and how many people you will work for/with.
