Interviewed Nov 2011 (took 3 months)
Had 3 interviews for a Project Manager position. First a phone screen by a recruiter who asked basic questions like why I wanted to work for Humana, describe what I currently do in my job, strengths/weaknesses, etc. Then about 4 weeks later I had a follow-up phone call that I had been selected to do another phone interview with the hiring manager for the position I applied for. This was more analytical type questions - how do I manage multiple projects at once, how do I deal with unhappy clients, what am I looking for in a job, etc. Finally about 3 weeks after that I was called to set up an in-person interview. I scheduled my interview for 2 weeks from that day (soonest they could do it). The in person interview consisted of a panel of 4 people interviewing me in a Q&A type interview. A lot of questions were situational questions - how would I handle different situations and problems. It lasted about 3 hours. Then, I got a call almost 3 weeks after that with a job offer. It was a very long process, but its a big corporation and that is just a part of trying to get in the door with such a large company.
Interview Questions
Negotiation Details
There was no negotiation. They made an offer based off what I was currently making in my job, but it was $7k higher than I am currently making, so it was a great offer.
Other Details
The interview consisted of a Phone Interview, a Group/Panel Interview, a Personality Test, a Drug Test and a Background Check.

Interviewed Jan 2012 in Louisville, KY (took a day)
Phone screen led to an on-site at the corporate HQ. Interview was pretty straight-forward, mostly personality questions. They apparently interviewed a lot of people for only a few slots the day I was there.

Interviewed Dec 2011 in Louisville, KY (took 4 months)
Phone screened by an outsourced recruiter who then set up a phone call with the hiring manager. Initial phone interview consisted of some out-of-the-box questions to determine the candidate's ability to articulate thoughts. After the phone interview with the hiring manager, the initial recruiter set up an in-person interview with the hiring manager and his team. The recruiter gave the incorrect date and became unprofessional and accusatory when the initial interview was missed. The recruiter was subsequently cut out of the process.
The hiring manager and team seemed to enjoy the work and the environment - but referenced 60+ hour work weeks and 4:00 a.m. arrival times. Seemingly overworked. Panel interview consisted of slow-pitch behavioral questions and a get-to-know-you atmosphere. They combined lower level analysts with managerial staff in the panel interview which caused hiccups between strategic and task-oriented questions.
There was a minimum of three weeks between each phase of the process and long periods with no communication. Subsequently interviewed with a director and then with a VP a month later.
I was told (not asked) that the hiring managers would be reaching out to people they knew in my current company for references before an offer was made. When I expressed concern about this potentially jeopardizing my job, I was told that they would be sure to "be discreet."
After 4 months, 3 interviews, multiple phone calls, and several days taken off work; they ceased communication altogether. No 'thank you,' no flush letter, no e-mail. Serious challenges with professionalism, work-life balance, and organizational ability. Beware.

Interviewed Dec 2011 in Louisville, KY (took 2 days)
The people doing phone interviews are not punctual, on average, and seem to be overworked. Some of them also are very unprofessional and can leave a very bad impression with prospective employees. My most recent experience was pretty good, but previous experiences have not been so good.

Interviewed Jan 2012 (took 2 weeks)
I found the interview process to be real pleasant and professional. The interview questions dealt with situational issues. All in all I think it was a good process and I am really looking forward to getting the job. They were very informative about the position and their expectations. They also explained to me about their policy on requesting days off as well as their benefit packages.

Interviewed Nov 2011 in Irving, TX (took 3 weeks)
I applied online and received a call from HR for a phone interview. The Interview with HR went well. HR then scheduled 2nd phone interview with the hiring manager, VP of IT. The hiring manager didn’t call at the scheduled time so I called HR. HR re-scheduled the phone interview with the hiring manager. I waited for another week but it was no call from the hiring manager. I reached out to HR and let them know what was happened. HR told me that they would find out the season why the hiring manager didn’t call. A week later, I was informed that the position was filled internally.
The whole thing was a joke.

Interviewed Sep 2011 in Louisville, KY (took 3 months)
Ridiculous interview process. There is no need for a hiring process to be so difficult. First, make sure the recruiter gives you the right directions and building to be in. Next be prepared to answer the same questions over and over. I've actually had two interviews with Humana, one was with 5 people over one hour and another was with 6 people over three hours. In both I just felt like I was repeating myself over and over again. They are big on teams. They aren't big on career aspirations, they seem to think you want to be in that same position forever and if you don't then they aren't interested in you. Just say you love working in a team, you like variety, but you love administrative tasks, and you want to work in that position forever and you're good to go.

Interviewed Oct 2011 (took 1+ week)
- Very professional interaction; the HR screening process was efficient and thorough. Was contacted within a few days to set up a face to face interview with the hiring VP. That interview was smooth as well, but I never heard anything after that. I contacted the HR rep for follow up but never received a response.

Interviewed Oct 2011 in Louisville, KY (took 1 week)
I received a phone call two weeks after applying for the job. A phone interview was set up for later in the afternoon which lasted 30 minutes. Questions regarded previous work experience and the interviewer asked for specific instances where I met certain goals or performed my duties in each job. The face-to-face interview was very straight forward. I was asked for situational questions about my previous work experience. Example: Describe a time you did not meet expectations in your job and how you corrected your inability to meet expectations in the future.

Negotiation Details
You are asked about how much you want in the phone interview. Not much was said during the face-to-face interview regarding money. My advice: ask for the salary range for your position and request the highest.
