Interviewed Nov 2010 (took 4 weeks)
First interview: phone with recruiter
Second interview: group/panel - everyone was polite, but I felt they continued to repeat the same questions with different verbiage (behavioral questions and what if scenarios)
Third interview: 1:1 with hiring manager – somewhat standoffish and didn’t ask a lot of questions. She seemed as though she was preoccupied. I was told that I would hear something from her team within 2 weeks, but I never heard anything. I had to contact the recruiter at least 3 times before getting a response. When he finally responded, he stated that they decided to give the position to someone within the team as a promotable position.

Interviewed Jan 2010 in Saint Louis, MO (took 4 days)
Recruiter called for the phone interview. Moved on to interview with supervisor and management. Heard back from recrutier day after the panel interview with a job offer. Overall my advise would be just to be yourself. They use a lot of behavioral questions- I will not give examples. It is not a corporate like atmosphere in this building. The people are an extreme range from uptight, to intellectual, to just plain ghetto.

Interviewed Dec 2011 (took 4 days)
Applied for entry-level job packing and shipping prescription medications. Contacted by phone by third-party recruiter, who gave me some idea of what the company was looking for in the interview as far as enthusiasm and personality; recruiter was very nice and personable. Arrived at interview to discover that it was basically a cattle call, with half a dozen or so department supervisors conducting the interviews. Unfortunately, the guy I interviewed with and I didn't click -- he basically stared at me and read generic questions out of a booklet, and any attempts I made to lighten the tone of the interview were met with silence. The kicker was when I asked about the corporate culture, and he leaned in and, in a conspiratorial tone, whispered that the workplace was "very *diverse*." That's not what I was asking about, dude. To be fair, it sounds like it would be a decent place to work, even though the pay is on the low side, and sometimes you just don't connect with an interviewer. Had I been interviewed by a different supervisor, I may have actually heard back from the company.

Interviewed Mar 2011 in Saint Louis, MO (took 2 days)
In person they are nice but, there is absolutely no follow up. You have to make numerous phone calls and send emails just to find out the status. The follow up process is embarassing for a fortune 50 company.

Interviewed Sep 2011 in Orlando, FL (took a day)
Received numerous back and forth calls from recruiter working very hard to get me in for the interview. At interview, was directed to a computerized personality test. During the walk through the offices to the testing area, I noticed there seemed to be only young (20'-30's) working there. I'm older than that but computer and office proficient. Took the tests - was told I would be informed next week regardless of their decision and have not heard a word from them since. Maybe they have a quota on processing employment applicants but don't see why they couldn't follow up as they insisted they would. Oh well, their loss and my gain knowing now how they operate.

It took a very long time for HR to handle the paperwork so that I could actually schedule the interview. However, after the paperwork was processed and the interview occurred, I received the offer rather quickly.

Interviewed Nov 2009 (took 5 days)
I applied for the position on their website. The position was Titled Data Entry Tech-Healthbridge. At the end of the application was a personality test. Maybe two days later I was contacted by a Recruiter via telephone to setup a phone interview. I did the phone interview, and she emailed me materials needed, such as the directions for the typing test, and face to face interview. The lady that did my interview was a supervisor. She had a tongue ring and an eyebrow piercing. I thought that was very unprofessional, but her tone and the way she performed the interview was professional. Basic questions, on what your would do in this scenario, and which is most important (production or quality). They also explained in the interview that overtime may be short notice such as the same day and was I ok with that. The recruiter contacted me via phone and offered me the job. I then had to get my fingerprints ran for the background check, and apply for my pharmacy tech license in which the company paid for. My training was within the next week.
