The interview process felt a bit disorganized and haphazard, not really showcasing the skills expected of communications professionals. I applied in November 2025 and got a notification for the first call on Jan 27th, 2026, from the Dir. of Internal Communications, who apologized for the "delay." The first call was on Feb 3rd and was informative and pleasant. I got a "green light" for two more interviews the following week. Surprisingly, both follow-up interviews were scheduled for the same day: one with the Executive Director of Operations and another with the Internal Communications Team members I would be working with. These felt like very different interviews, one focused on operations and the other a scripted panel to gauge team fit. The ED Ops interview was good, but the team interview was awkward due to the virtual format and scripted questions, feeling like a "check-the-box" exercise. All interviewers were courteous. I followed up with the Dir. of Internal Comms on Feb 13th to share my thoughts and ask for feedback, but got no response. I followed up again on Feb 26th for an update, still no response. On Mar 26th, I received an automated rejection email. I was disappointed about not getting the role, but more unnerved by the lack of communication and compassion, especially from healthcare professionals. I felt I got zero value from the process, which makes me question if it was just about filling quotas. This experience makes me unable to endorse their hiring practices.

The interview process was pretty easy. It involved one chat with the practice manager and another with a physician. They mostly asked general things, and it felt more like a casual conversation. We talked about my previous experience and what a typical day looked like for me before.

Behavioral
It was a behavior-based interview and the questions followed the STAR method. Only teammates interviewed me, not a manager. They didn't share what the job responsibilities actually were, just used a generic description. Then on my first day, I was given more responsibilities that weren't even brought up during the interview. It felt like they misled me.
