Manager at Fresenius Medical Care - North America

No Offer – Interviewed in Milwaukee, WI Sep 2010 – Reviewed Nov 8, 2010

Interview Details – very very slow, I did not feel that FMC HR reps did not want to hire anyone. Also I had been a pas employee for them with no past history that would warrant a cold shoulder from this company, I served and believed in their company before, now I don't know what to say.

Engineering at Fresenius Medical Care - North America

No Offer – Interviewed in Apr 2011 – Reviewed May 25, 2011

Interview Details – Applied through the company career website. A few weeks later I was contacted for a phone interview. The interview involved speaking with two members of the engineering team about my experience and behavioral questions.

I was later contacted for an interview at the company. The interview consisted meetings with various members of the engineering department. Each interview was 1-on-1, and they discussed their specific departments and how they work with the overall product. There were also general engineering questions on topics such as logic gates, op-amps, and transistors. I'd also recommend researching the company's products and dialysis treatment in general.

Overall the interview was positive. The engineering team was friendly and the company culture seemed very team oriented and open to collaboration.

Accepted Offer – Interviewed in Lexington, MA Dec 2008 – Reviewed Oct 14, 2012

Patient Care Technician at Fresenius Medical Care - North America

Accepted Offer – Interviewed in Chicago, IL Aug 2011 – Reviewed Jan 20, 2012

Interview Details – Applying for the position online gets you nowhere and you will not receive a call back. You must actively pursue management and really show that you are interested by making phone calls and mailing/faxing resume and cover letter to the unit you are interested in. Once you get an interview it is smooth sailing as long as you have dialysis experience.

Interview Question – If a customer/patient is screaming and yelling at you on the treatment floor how would you respond?   Answer Question

Staff Nurse at Fresenius Medical Care - North America

Accepted Offer – Interviewed in New York, NY Feb 2011 – Reviewed Mar 23, 2011

Interview Details – My experience was good. They were very organized and detailed on what the position entailed. All my questions were answered. Policies and protocols are all up to date and thorough. I had my initial interview with the clinical manager. One week later I had another interview with the VP. That same week, I completed my personality survey. The following week I was able to meet with the facility charge nurse to find out the needs of the facility. The VP and Clinical manager was very supportive and showed interest in me taking the position. No pressure was added. I believe that because of the history of the unit, the VP wanted me to be familiar with the facility before I was offered the position.
