Interviewed Jan 2012 in Houston, TX (took 2 weeks)
Excellent phone interview - Recruiter was thorough, friendly, candid and professional. Top Notch! The in person interview was very professional. All people I had contact with were upbeat and pleasant and seemed happy to be there. Met with two managers. One was very personal, engaging, shared more about the direction of the organization, its culture, existing challenges, and asked questions that solicited a dialog. The other manager was very professional and pleasant. Her interview was more structured with an "agenda" and filled with "behavioral" questions, some of which were challenging to answer. She was more of a "by the book" type personality and she was harder to get to know on a more personal, candid level. Overall my experience was very positive and I hope to move to the next step!

Interviewed Mar 2009 in Houston, TX (took a day)
At the time I submitted my resume the radiation therapy market was not as saturated as it is now.
The MDA HR department and recruiters were very responsive but I was referred by an employee in a leadership position.
The interview was a panel type interview which can be intimidating.
Make sure you answer the questions correctly, know your job expectations, and the MD Anderson culture. Try and connect with at least two people in the panel.
Be prepared to work in a large department.
As a whole the therapy team are excellent, and caring individuals with a high level of integrity all working for the patients. As in any large group there are a few lazy people who skate by under the radar.

Interviewed Oct 2011 (took 2 weeks)
Got an email from one of the research dept of MD Anderson asking for an interview. I went in and was interviewed with the head of the accounting dept, no technical questions at all. Few days after the first interview, I got another email asking for a second interview. I went in and was interviewed with the director of the research dept along with the accounting head, again no technical questions. I guess they are looking for a personality that can fit in the dept.

Interviewed Jun 2011 (took a day)
The process to actually get an interview is lengthy. There is a huge gap in time from point of application, to phone interview, to in person interview. Once I received a call to come in for an interview, it was for the same week. They give GREAT directions to get to where your interview will take place. It's a LOT of walking so wear comfortable shoes! I interviewed with the recruiter, department manager, department administrator, and someone else from the department. I was there for about 4 hours, but really enjoyed my time there. The people were great and friendly. I sent a follow up and thank you for the interview email. While I didn't receive feedback for THAT position, they called me back to interview for another.

Interviewed Dec 2010 (took 1 week)
The overall application and interview process was fairly easy. I applied to MD Anderson, took the personality test after the application pages. Within a week I was called for an interview. The interview happened the next week, I interviewed with the recruiter in the morning, then interviewed with the hiring manager in the afternoon. I was asked the normal interview questions. I received a job offer that same day and started 2 weeks later.

I had three interviews over a 2 month period. I gave up twice on waiting for a call back but eventually got them. All interviews were non-intimdating but quite probing. The background check is very extensive.
