First-hand accounts from people who interviewed at Northwell Health.
People Leader
The interview process was pretty straightforward. It started with a recruiter chat and then moved on to virtual interviews with the direct supervisors. The recruiter was my main point of contact and was really helpful. After that, there was a second round of virtual interviews with a more senior leader. All the managers seemed to really like their jobs and spoke positively about the opportunities there. They made the roles and responsibilities sound really clear, which made me feel more engaged.
- How does your previous work experience relate to the requirements of this role?
Research Assistant
Northwell's interview process is generally quicker than at some other large places. There are a few interview rounds, but they're good at setting them up and get back to you promptly after you've interviewed.
- Can you tell me a bit about yourself?
- Which METs are you familiar with?
- What about edcs, which ones do you know?
Program Manager
I had a 15-minute initial interview in May 2025. They said I'd hear back in two weeks but it took them over a month, not getting back to me until June 2025 to say they'd gone with other candidates. The interview itself was friendly and easy, but the delay in communication after they missed their own deadline really soured the experience for me.
- Can you tell me about your previous experience managing programs related to health?
Clinical Dietitian
I talked with the Clinical Nutrition Manager, a Supervisor, and another Clinical Dietitian. They asked me some questions about my background from my resume, and also what I would do in a couple of patient scenarios. After that, I had to write a chart note for a made-up patient.
- For a patient with diabetes who frequently eats fast food, what would be your counseling approach?
- Can you discuss your background in relation to your resume?
- Describe your approach to two hypothetical patient situations.
