Interviewed Sep 2011 (took 3 weeks)
Kaiser Permanente will likely set up a preliminary "screening" phone interview. The Kaiser Permanente Human Resources recruiter called exactly on schedule at appointed time. About 6 questions, took about 20 minutes. Some questions were specific to the position for which I applied. Some questions were more general. I was a little surprised that it was strictly question and answer, with no I see's in between and no follow-up questions or, can you elaborates. I had no idea how I did because the interviewer gave no indicatave feedback.

Interviewed May 2009 in Hayward, CA (took 4+ weeks)
I submitted my resume on the Kaiser Permanente website and selected from the available openings. I was later contacted by the hiring manager and was asked to meet the following day for a one on one interview. The lady that I was talking to then gave me directions on how to get to the emergency department and gave directions to talk to the security guard and tell them that I was there for an interview.

Interviewed Aug 2011 in Burbank, CA (took 2 days)
Manager interviewed me both on phone and in person. Focus was on my ability to understand and meet their ongoing needs. The atmosphere was corporate casual and the people seemed pleasant and welcoming. I would have loved to have worked there, as the hiring manager was very sharp and on his game.

Interviewed Jun 2011 in San Francisco, CA (took a day)
The interview was really fun. I know you really can't say that about most interviews, but the two individuals interviewing me for this position were intelligent, friendly, and engaging.
I was lucky to go straight from the online application to filling out an additional set of questions after my resume/application was reviewed (intended to assess my skill level in various areas) to the in-person interview, as usually there is a phone interview prior to a 1:1 interview) because I happened to be in the city interviewing for other positions over the period of time my phone interview was scheduled. The interview questions were really easy for me to answer because the job fit perfectly with my past experience; the questions were focused on assessing my technical, analytic and interpersonal skills.
Despite the fact that I got three really great job offers over those few days, this company really made an impression on me because of the culture and the fact that my new boss(es) would really be fantastic; I accepted the position.
Interview Questions
Negotiation Details
The questionnaire sent to me prior to an interview being offered to me included five questions, one of which was to specify salary expectations. I specified (and was honest) about what I was offered to stay at my current job in a different city and then inflated that amount to adjust for an increased cost of living. The whole process worked out well.

Interviewed Jul 2011 (took 6 weeks)
I was referred to the position by a former co-worker who currently works at Kaiser Permanente. I applied online as directed, and in 3 weeks I was called by the hiring manager for an interview the following Friday. I was also asked to prepare a 2-5 minute presentation on a topic of my choosing. The interview consisted of a three-person interview panel which included my friend, a product manager (the lady who called me to set up the interview), and a project manager. The entire experience was very friendly. After a brief description of the job's responsibilities, I was asked a series of mostly behavioral related questions. Afterwards, I was allowed to ask my own questions, then give my presentation. This 3-person panel interview lasted about 45 minutes, after which I was told that I would hear back within a week.
Sure enough, I was called by someone in Administration the Monday following this interview for a 2nd interview with the Medical Administrator and Executive Consultant. This interview was more of a "are you fit for this position" and was surprisingly much easier than the first panel interview. After talking about myself and a few questions related to my qualifications I was again allowed to ask questions. I was informed that they would give their feedback to the hiring manager and a decision would be made within a week. This interview lasted about 30 minutes.
A few days later I was offered the job and I accepted.
Interview Questions
Negotiation Details
I accepted the initial offer because it was reasonably more than I was being current compensated.
The only advice I can give is to wait for a number to be thrown out, say thank you for the offer, request an offer letter, then give it a day or two to think it over.
Other Details
I got the interview through an Employee Referral and the interview consisted of a Group/Panel Interview and a Presentation.

Interviewed Oct 2009 in Corona, CA (took 12 months)
The interview process was long. The HR depatment takes a very long time to get back with you because so many people in the call center try to get relatives hired. Once youre finally in, you take multiple skills assesments, have to pass a background check, and get invervied by two managers. The questions are simple and within a day i accepted an offer.

Interviewed Jul 2011 (took 4 weeks)
Applied on-line, received initial screening via phone. Went on for a panel interview. Most on the panel seemed to have a chip on their shoulder asking questions in a manner that were difficult to understand e.g. how would you prioritize an IT disaster and the need for a janitor in an Operating room. I said I would focus on critical services e.g. network services. Panel member shouted at me that I just killed the patient because the operating room needed to be cleaned. What the heck kind of question was that?
I showed up in a suit and some panel members were dressed sloppy, office area was dirty and no one seemed to understand where the interview was to take place. Panel was 15 minutes late, asked me to come into the room then asked me to leave.
I might not have been their number one choice for the position, but I would think twice about how they interview.

Interviewed Jul 2011 in Oakland, CA (took 2 weeks)
Worked with an agency to get my initial phone screen interview, which led to an on-campus interview of about three hours. The whole process was very smooth and enjoyable. Preparation really helped, talking to number of people, doing research, and having knowledge of the industry.

Interviewed Jul 2011 (took 2 months)
Applied online in March. Contacted by HR for phone interview in late June. Interview went well. HR Consultant very knowledgeable about job and its responsibilities. Was able to answer pertinent questions about the position prior to the panel interview. Received call about panel interview a few weeks later. All staff on the interview were very pleasant and laid back. Gave very good information about the position and were very frank and honest regarding the challenges they faced and the direction they needed to take as a group. I really liked that. Was told that I would be contacted again if I was among the top candidates to interview with the regional group I would be sharing office space with. Could take another 2-3 weeks for that process, and they were ver yhonest regarding the slow pace of their onboarding process. Overall, I would welcome an offer from this company.
