Behavioral Technical
Don't expect much from Highmark regarding follow-up. They don't update candidates on next steps, leaving them hanging. I interviewed for two roles. After an initial screening call, the recruiter set up a hiring manager interview. It went well, and the HM seemed impressed, but I never heard back. Communication was poor between the HM and recruiter, and they never closed the loop. If you interview here, get clear communication details on the first call.

The interview process was pretty straightforward. After submitting my resume, I got a call from HR within about a week. They set up an onsite interview for the next week, which was mostly about seeing if I was a culture fit. The whole thing lasted about an hour. Apparently, I was the first person they interviewed for this role, and they said I'd hear back in three weeks. And sure enough, I got an offer exactly three weeks later.
