Behavioral Presentation

The interview process was good. Management worked with me to see how I can fit and succeed at Magellan. Communication from Senior Management was honest and transparent and I felt like all my questions were answered without the typical "bs" selling a dream that can tend to happen. It was a positive experience and everyone involved seemed very nice and welcoming throughout the process.

Behavioral Technical Presentation

I applied online and got a call for a phone interview where they reviewed my resume and talked about the company. Then, I had an in-person interview. The office seemed a bit chaotic, run by people who looked like recent grads. About 45 minutes of the interview was standard, discussing my resume, experience, skills, and interests. After that, I was given a case study and a laptop and had only 15 minutes to research and prepare a presentation. They left while I was trying to do this, and then came back for my presentation. They asked some questions afterward and then thanked me. I heard back the next day that I didn't get the job.

Behavioral Case Technical

Applied via Handshake. First, a 15-minute phone screen, which got rescheduled once. It went fine. Then, an in-person interview with MD Casey Smith, also rescheduled once. When I finally got there, the MD wasn't in, so a team leader interviewed me. It involved questions and a case study on my laptop. The interviewer seemed impressed and said they'd let me know in about a week. They took two weeks to get back, requiring me to follow up. Ultimately, I was rejected because they wanted someone with a "strong focus on expert network industry." They didn't provide feedback when asked. The whole thing took nearly 2 months.
