Project Manager at Wellmark

Accepted Offer – Interviewed in Des Moines, IA Mar 2010 – Reviewed Jul 26, 2011

Interview Details – It took forever for them to make a decision on hiring---six months from the date of phone interview to job offer. The phone interview was easy. However, I waited several months to get an "in person" interview. The in person interview was with 4 levels of management---seemed like overkill to me.

Interview Question – The VP didn't ask many questions...mainly warned me that insurance companies are not well liked by the general public.   View Answer

Negotiation Details – During the phone interview, I asked what their salary range would be for the job. The range they quoted was too low for me and I told them so....since I didn't want to waste my time. I told them what my range was and said that I wouldn't take a cut.

Clinical Services at Wellmark

No Offer – Interviewed in Des Moines, IA Apr 2008 – Reviewed Mar 19, 2009

Interview Details – The people organizing the interview took a very long time(I applied in January, I interviewed in April) to get back to me after initially telling me how interested they were in me. I had been referred by a director within the organization and asked to apply, so I was surprised by the length of time it took. When I did get the interview, I had less than a week to find an entire day I could be there for the interview. On the day of the interview, they were having a casual day, so I showed up in an appropriate suit and heels and they were in khakis and jeans. The group interview was not intense, but it also was not warm. Communication was exclusively with HR. The entire posting to finding out they had hired someone else through the grapevine took eight months. No one communicated the position was filled.

Interview Question – Previous experience includes a people focus, how do you handle making decisions that will make people angry?   View Answer
