Interviewed Mar 2011 in Cincinnati, OH (took a day)
The hiring process went smoothly.It lasted about 2.5 to 3 hours and consisted of a 1:1 Interview, an interview with HR and an interview with the staff. It took two weeks for them to make an offer, which they tell you during the interview.
The drug test was straight forward too. There were no surprises.
I would recommend other people to come prepared with questions and to give a lot of time for the interview process.

Interviewed Oct 2010 in Cincinnati, OH (took 3 months)
Interview will be entirely specific for the lab to which you are applying. In my instance, no formal presentation was required of me. It was simply a one on one interview, discussing my prior publications and potential projects. The final offer came via email with a formal offer in letter form.

Interviewed Aug 2011 (took 2 months)
My interview with Children's consisted of a panel of five. The interview questions were to be expected and there were no surprise questions. The interview lasted about an hour and the only surprise I got was a whopping $20 tab to park in visitor parking. I think I could have had my parking ticket validated at the welcome desk of the hospital but I forgot to ask. I wasn't offered a second interview so I counted the $20 a loss.

Interviewed Apr 2011 in Cincinnati, OH (took 3 days)
Best way to describe the interview is if you know someone who works at cchmc you will get an interview. Outside people coming in is hard as this is a highly sought after company to work for. Everyone is nice and if you get lost to finding your interview location plenty of people are around who will help you.

Interviewed Mar 2011 (took 4 months)
A rather lengthy process compared to any interview I've had in similar settings (ie, large pediatric medical centers); it was approximately 4 months from start (receiving an email stating my application had been sent to the department-specific hiring manager) to finish (declining the position). As a non-local applicant I participated in a group (2:1) interview and then a follow-up phone interview, in lieu of multiple in person interviews that CCHMC typically has. The interviews themselves were particularly structured (they try to set a 30 time limit for in person interviews, although my 60 minute clearly exceeded it), formal, and consisted of a lot of behavioral-based questions ("tell us about a time when...")...but the interviews were not overly difficult or surprising. I did note that the interviewers had printed copies of my resume and had marked it up, which they then used as a guide for asking questions throughout the interview. For example, "we see you had recent experience at X; describe the typical patient population and how they relate to the patients you'd see here".

I know quite a few people who work here and all have had very positive experiences and said that this is a great place to work. Everyone who I came into contact in the process was positive, upbeat, and extremely helpful.
