Sonic Healthcare Interview Questions
& Process

The admin assistant interview process was straightforward and professional, with excellent communication. Scheduling was flexible, instructions were clear, and the interview itself was relaxed yet relevant. Follow-up was prompt, making the entire experience smooth, respectful of time, and easy to navigate.

I applied online and a few weeks later, I got a call to set up an interview for the next week. When I got there, someone buzzed me in through the intercom and told me to sign the log. I saw that 3 other people had already signed in earlier that day, so I figured they were other candidates. My interviewers came and got me and we walked to the interview room. They started by telling me about the job and what it involves. They also mentioned what they do in Dublin since it's a global company. Then they asked me some standard HR questions and took notes as I answered.

I applied online. First, I had a phone call with the connect team manager from RI. Then, a supervisor from NY scheduled another phone interview to discuss the same things. Both calls went well. After about 2-3 weeks of follow-up, they sent my resume to the director of the connect team and scheduled an in-person interview at their RI location. During this interview, we discussed my background, Sonic's current and future projects. It was a very relaxed interview and went really well. We talked a lot about MU2, my current work, and other EHR-related topics. After the director's interview, the manager who initially called me came in. They discussed the team structure, team members, and shared some candid details about Sonic's internal work environment and previous management. That also went fine, but at the very end, I was told I'm on hold and Sonic would reach out if other opportunities arise in the future. At one point, the manager was listing team members' names, how long they've been there, mentioning the previous boss, and then abruptly said, 'They don't have an opportunity right now.' This was quite shocking. It made me wonder why I was invited for a third-round interview, especially with the director, if there wasn't an opening. If they weren't planning to hire someone, why go into such detail about the team, making me believe a job offer was imminent? I was informed about the 'no opportunity' situation only at the end of the in-person interview, so the manager discussing sensitive team information wasn't necessary if they already knew I wouldn't be hired. I'm not upset about not being selected, but rather about the misleading nature of the process. Discussing work culture, teams, and future projects felt like a pretense of a definite hire, which usually happens only when an offer is being made. I still can't figure out why I wasn't selected, especially since I was repeatedly told via email, phone, and the in-person interview that 'You have the skills and knowledge we're looking for. Given your experience, we won't need to train you much.' So, what went wrong? I would appreciate it if Sonic could provide a reason for rejecting me, despite being considered a 'perfect candidate.'

Applied through a recruiter and had the first interview. It was with the team lead and another person, and was supposed to be the first round. They asked a few tech questions and about my experience. But on the day, there was no intro, they didn't say who they were or anything about the job. The team lead said the goal was to see if we were a good fit and started with tech questions. He asked two data structure questions. I answered the first one, then he paused the interview for a few minutes to say bye to his colleague, which was rude and unprofessional. For the second question, I gave two solutions, but he was looking for a specific answer. He then said that's it from his end and asked if I had questions. I asked about the job, and he just said 'good luck with your job search' and ended the call. The whole thing was about 10 minutes. It was the worst interview ever, no intro, couldn't ask questions, the lead wasn't interested in my experience, and was rude. He didn't care about my questions and just ended the interview. This guy showed he's narrow-minded, wanting one specific answer. Working with him must be interesting. If you want to waste your time and be disrespected, apply to SonicHealth care. Otherwise, look elsewhere.
