M. D. Anderson Cancer Center Interview Questions & Reviews

Interview Details – PHD candidates are invited to make a presentation around one hour and then talk with different faculties as well as principal analyst.

Interview Details – Got a phone call to schedule an interview. It was a routine panel interview including hiring manager and supervisor. Questions based on the resume which I was prepared to answer. This was for a part time position. Hiring process took two months to complete...background check, immunization and other documentation included.

Interview Details – I circumvented MD Anderson's standard process by sending my CV directly to the PI. I feel like my PI also wanted to circumvent the typical hiring process due to its inconvenience.

Interview Details – Recruiters did not even want to talk to me as I am a white male. I found out that of the two jobs I interviewed for, the only candidates that were initially presented were young minority females, and generally friends of recruiters.
Recruiter was rude, discourteous, and incompetent - she completely forgot to inform me that my sign-on day was cancelled as the entire HR department was out of the office at a 'team building event'. I witnessed many of them coming back to the office that afternoon clearly intoxicated, stumbling. No apology was offered.

Interview Details – I initially interviewed with HR, which was fine, and then met with the PI. Meeting with the PI was very informal.

Interview Details – Was contacted by HR and interviewed that same week. My interview was pleasant and went well. I am still in the interview process

Interview Details – My process was different because I started as an intern. After my internship, I was hired as an research assistant (had no interview). When I was promoted to Research Coordinator, they just asked what my contribution was on the projects? which project did I like the most? asked to read a sheet of paper that was in Spanish, just to verify that I spoke the language.

Negotiation Details – Since I was an internal candidate, the institution has a 15% policy and a program that places a person's experience and education on a scale with others who have the same position. The 15% policy is usually what gets people, basically you can only get a max of 15% increase from your current salary, if the 15% is less than the position you are getting promoted to, then you get the minimum pay regardless of whether you are overqualified than others. If the 15% is more than the minimum of the new position than the dept. or HR can decide if they want to give you the 15% or less (the minimum increase that can be given is 3%), which can put you on the minimum salary. The minimum is usually what people get paid, except upper management. If you are coming in as an external than you a bit more room for negotiation (although they still use the program to find your salary)

Interview Details – There was a long waiting process of not knowing what was going on, being said, etc. I didn't train myself for the interview, and everything went well. I would encourage others to just be themselves. I remember feeling tricked when HR called and made the offer...because they also include the cost they pay for insurance as part of your salary....so, you really feel like you're getting more.

Negotiation Details – There is no negotiation in this company unless you are actively sought after.

Interview Details – You have to log in in their website www university of texasmdandersoncancercenter .com then apply and submit resume.If they will choose you, a nurse recruiter will call you and schedule your interview.

Negotiation Details – In the resume you will write your present salary and from that they will offer you a salary range and if you agree it depends on you.But for me they offered more than the salary I am receiving in my former employer.
