The interview process was straightforward and without any surprises. It involved team interviews that were conversational. The interviews were on-site, and the people were great, making it a comfortable experience to share my experience and knowledge. I was prepared for the questions, and it was an overall good experience.

It took ages to hear back after applying. But once I did, the interview process was pretty straightforward. First, there was a phone call with the recruiter to check if I was interested, talk about salary, and which hospital floor I'd be working on. After that, I had an in-person interview at the hospital.

Technical Behavioral
First, I had to do a 2-hour online IQ/logic test with a proctor watching via webcam, which is apparently a requirement for all IT applicants. After passing that, I had a phone interview discussing my background and interest. Then, a video interview followed to determine my fit, potential team placement, and if there were even any openings. I was rejected via email a week later. They seem to have a generic job posting but don't specify which teams or areas have openings. This month-long process felt like a waste of time, especially after the 2-hour IQ test and multiple interviews, given that there might not have even been a relevant position.

Group Behavioral
Heads up, when you apply to Sparrow’s main hospital in Lansing, they do group interviews but with a twist. You know, not only are 2 people often present, but when you apply for certain jobs on a specific unit, you often don’t even interview with that unit’s management and after the interview you then bid on a unit and hope they have the position on the unit you actually want.
Confirmed questions1 question
- Can you share an instance where you had to deliver difficult news to a family and how you managed the situation?
