Presbyterian Healthcare Services Interview Questions
& Process

I was first contacted for a short phone screening. After that, I got scheduled for a team interview. Once I finished the team interview, I had a second interview with the department head. The whole process from applying to the screening and all the other interviews took a few months.

I went through three interview stages from early January to early February 2025. It started with a written questionnaire containing three questions. About two weeks later, I had an initial online meeting with the hiring manager, which seemed to go well. Then, one week after that, I had a panel interview in early February. I felt good about how the panel interview went, and they said I'd be notified about the job decision. However, I never heard back for over three weeks, and even when I followed up, I got no response. I was ghosted.

The first couple interviews were short (30 mins) and didn't give much time for questions. I went through a few technical interviews. Then, I had a fourth interview with two managers to learn about the team and reporting structure. Unexpectedly, it turned into another technical interview. They asked me to share my screen from an iPad, open notepad, and code from memory. My webcam turned off automatically when I shared my screen, and they wouldn't let me type and explain verbally in real time. It felt like they doubted my programming skills and were trying to catch me in a lie. They asked technical questions that had already been covered in previous interviews, even though my earlier answers were recorded. The managers kept interrupting me while I was coding and told me I was wrong before I finished. They dismissed a solution because it didn't start the way they expected, without letting me finish my thought. There were many red flags. I would have declined any offer. Months later, I still haven't heard back.

The whole thing took over 2 months, but I was fine with it since I wasn't actively looking. First, I had a phone chat with the hiring manager. Then, another call with a group of people. It was pretty laid back and organized. After that, I went in for an in-person interview, which had about 3-4 parts. Mostly, they drilled down into my past experience to see if I could handle the job. It was a good overall experience, but we just couldn't meet on salary. It was a bit odd that the staffing agency, acting as HR, handled the salary talks instead of the company folks.
