UC San Francisco Analyst Interview Questions
& Process

The process was very straightforward. I applied online through the UCSF website and was contacted about two weeks later to set up a phone screening. This screening was with the direct supervisor and the person who used to do the job before getting promoted. Phone interview included: discussion about UCSF and the department (achievements, growth), a review of the position's responsibilities, and a deep dive into my professional and academic background as it relates to the job. They were very personable and communicated clearly with direct, confident expectations. The in-person interview was scheduled a few weeks after the phone screening. It was a panel interview with the same two people from the phone screen plus the Controller's Office Customer Service Manager. It was refreshingly straightforward. They were generous with their time and answered questions thoughtfully. At the end, they each shared a personal interest, which was nice. I left with a clear understanding of the role, the department's future plans for the position, and everyone's expectations. It was worth the lost pay to make these connections and get some insight into their hiring process.

The interview process was short and to the point. I spoke with a very nervous woman. The people seemed high strung. I didn't like the exclusivity of the interview, and I almost quit. A more senior man interviewed me first. He seemed more interested in my network than my skills.

I got a call to go in for an interview. Two people interviewed me at the same time and took turns reading from a list of questions they had put together. It was disappointing.
