Interviewed Feb 2012 in Jacksonville, FL (took 1+ week)
Lots of situational questions. They read from a predetermined list of questions. A lot of "describe a time when..." type questions. Be prepared with many specific stories or examples from your previous work experience. Most interviews are group or panel interviews.

Mayo conducts a behavioral interview with a panel. Each person asks one question from a sheet, everyone takes notes. If there is time left at the end of the questions (one hours), there is an opportunity to ask questions. The questions are difficult, even if you are expecting a behavioral format. Mayo does advise you up front of the type of interviewing.

Interviewed Sep 2011 (took 2 days)
Mayo performed a short (half-hour) phone interview consisting of a mix of technical questions and behavioral questions. Since it was a panel interview with staff at several locations, it seemed a bit dis-jointed and did not flow well at times. I was called about a week and a half later and offered a full series of in-person interviews. This process was much easier and really gave me a better feeling of the organization and the position and team.

Interviewed Apr 2009 in Rochester, MN (took 2 days)
The interview process for this position in particular was long, but the hiring supervisor stayed in contact the entire time. Mayo at the time used behavioral questioning. Be prepared with specific examples from previous experience in the areas of problem resolution, conflict resolution, people skills, negotiating, and successes. The process was a phone interview first with basic qualifying questions about my skills, followed by a video interview, and last was an in-person panel and 1:1 interview days.

Interviewed Mar 2011 in Rochester, MN (took 2 months)
Mayo is a fantastic employer. The interview process was difficult because it should be a two way street for the candidate to decide if it's a fit with the interviewers but because of using a structured interview format, it was impossible to tell what any of the interviewers would be like to work for. I interviewed with 14 people. It wasn't until the last panel interview that I caught on that I needed to interject my unusual skills and qualifications because the structured questions were very narrow and left little room for expansion. They do use behavioral questions which is good but the questions were way too narrow in scope and it was about 8 questions per hour. It was exhausting!
