3 phone interviews followed by 2 on site individual and panel interviews. Had to take QI and personality tests prior to on site interview as this was for a management position. Time from verbal offer to written letter over 2 weeks. seems recruiters not kept in loop of myriad of steps to get positions secured

Interviewed Jun 2011 (took a day)
The physician recruiter was the rudest and least knowledgeable that I have encountered. She was also very slow to respond to emails, though I wasn’t going to hold her communications against the hospital. She was, however, my introduction to meeting HCA.
The Medical Director interviewed me over the phone and I had a site interview with him, the CFO and a woman of similar job title. The first red flag was that all were new to their positions in the last 4 months. My impression of the ER was that it was understaffed. It was also staffed with 60% locums physicians and the Medical Director mentioned how he was unhappy with that as their productivity was lacking. I met a new hire who was a few months out of residency and he looked miserable, but I understood why. I understood further when I saw a sample contract. It was extremely one-sided and detrimental to any physician under their employment. I can compare it to my business with EmCare, ECI, TeamHealth and Tenet. HCA leaves you feeling like an indentured servant.
Lastly, I was told that they would reimburse my visit. I traveled 1200 miles roundtrip. They emailed that they would reimburse my meals for two days and the roundtrip mileage from my place of stay to the hospital, or a total of $63.Their excuse? I was already visiting family in the area so no need to reimburse for part of my lodging or 1200 miles in gas.
This is the first time that I have dealt with HCA. I had been warned by a former colleague of mine that HCA was not the best company to deal with. Their reputation was confirmed by the physicians at three other hospitals that I have interviewed at under 2 other staffing companies and a private group.
I hope this review helps you make an informed decision.

Interviewed Mar 2009 in Nashville, TN (took a day)
I was submitted by a local employment agency as a contractor. They set up the interview. HCA is very well organized as it is a very large organization supporting over 150,000 people across the country. The atmosphere is very friendly and professional, but somewhat rigid due to its bureaucratic nature. I could tell when I arrived for the interview that the interviewer already wanted to hire me based on my experience and was basically hoping I didn't do or say anthing to blow it.
Interview Questions
Negotiation Details
I was able to negotiate a little. I knew they wanted to hire me above anyone else they were looking at so I used that to my advantage. I was able to get about $7,000 more than they were offering, but not near what I really wanted. This was due to the limitations of the payscale for the job description. The interviewer simply had no authority to go higher without changing the job title and responsibilities.
Other Details
I got the interview through a Staffing Agency and the interview consisted of a 1:1 Interview, a Drug Test and a Background Check.

Task a decent amount of time for them to get back to you. Also, HR doesn't work 5 days a week and can be hard to get a hold of.
