LifeSpan Medicine Interview Questions
& Process

I applied to a job on LinkedIn and was contacted by LifeSpan, but not by the person who posted the job. My interview was supposed to be by phone with the CEO. I was told to call the front desk at my scheduled interview time. When I called, they said the CEO was running late and I should leave a message. The CEO called me back from a blocked number about 45 minutes late, with no message. I followed up, and they rescheduled. At the rescheduled time, the same thing happened - they were running late. I had to leave another message. When the CEO finally called back, they were over 30 minutes late, and the whole conversation lasted only 4 minutes. I was told I'd get a criteria assessment by email that I had to complete ASAP to continue the process.

It was a pretty standard interview process. Started with a phone call, then I had three separate in-person interviews over about 2-3 weeks. I talked to a bunch of different people at the company.

The Lifespan Medicine interview process has been a journey. It began with applying online, which involved emailing my resume and cover letter. Despite being overqualified, I applied since I was moving to the city. A few days later, an HR rep contacted me for a phone interview the next day. This initial call focused on my background and job search goals. I was then told to expect an email with a link to a 'survey' and that a second phone interview would follow the next day. The 'survey' turned out to be a mental evaluation test and a Myers Briggs personality test. The next day, the second phone interview covered standard questions like multitasking and handling coworker disagreements. This was followed by two more 30-minute phone interviews, totaling four, all with the same questions. After these calls, I was invited for an in-person interview. I arrived early for my interview at their office and was asked to wait for over an hour, despite the apparent lack of busyness. I reasoned this was part of their testing. After another 20-minute wait, the interview finally started. The interviewer apologized for being late, citing a busy day. I soon realized she was someone I'd spoken to before, but she asked if I was seeking full-time employment, a question I'd already answered multiple times. She then repeated the same questions from the previous phone interviews. A new question was about my typing speed, which I found odd given my master's degree. The interviewer took extensive notes throughout, which I found counterproductive as she should already have this information and could have engaged more directly. When I asked about the services Lifespan provides, the answer was vague. I wonder how the workplace functions day-to-day.

I was supposed to call the interviewer at a set time, and if she wasn’t free, I should leave a message and she’d get back to me. I did that, but she didn’t pick up so I left a voicemail. She called me back about 40 minutes after we were supposed to talk. The actual interview was super short, like four minutes. She asked me some quick questions, like what teams I like working on, a general tell me about yourself, and what my strengths are. Then she told me what the next steps were. She did follow up when she said she would, which was good. But I didn’t get to ask any questions, and she didn’t even say sorry for calling so late. It felt really rushed and not personal at all.
