What is the hiring process like at Centene?

Flexible, a good work life balance, and supportive team/supervisor.

Turn around time with processing internal applications is very slow, and the interview process has been inconsistent.

Everything from the hiring process to transitioning through the onboarding process was so smooth and simple.

None that I have experienced so far

Detailed level of communication with recruiter, complete information about job expectations and benefits provided.

Hiring process, while thorough, could have been a bit faster. Overall, not a significant con as I ended up learning more about this company than others I interviewed with as a result of this.

Being remote was the only benefit at the time. They eventually had RTO, but I was giving my notice by then.

I found out a new hire came in at a higher level than me with no contract experience and I was expected to train him. My boss created this imaginary yellow brick road presentation to get to a senior-level role with put me and my teammate at the bottom of the line. We were the only two minorities on the team.

100% remote job, which is great

Interview process is super long

Working from home is a plus.

Supervisory and leadership skills are very low. Uncomfortable work environment if you’re stuck with leaders who are afraid to enforce set assignments for tasks to be completed. Very unorganized. Inappropriate racial comments and their goal is to haze the newcomers. I wouldn’t advise hazing newcomers who have no experience, at entry level, while subconsciously aware that you are undermanned. Very disheartening and discouraging to muster up the courage to find motivation to complete the job daily with unnecessary experiences like such. Training newcomers is like twisting the “leaders’ “ wrist to get information out of them for your own knowledge. The group is very cliquey. Reminds me of high school. Broken systems requires redundant ticket management over the same tickets where the newcomers get all of the heavy load. Leads and seniors overload you with tickets because they act as they’re “too good” for ticketing. You get stuck with ticketing all because no one wants to help. The room for growth is slim to none and a slow process because the clique uses you for their needs and solely their needs. Turnover rate for the job isn't positive because no one wants to work in a toxic, unorganized, unprofessional, immature environment. No one wants to work under fearful, beta and frail-minded leadership. They need a new supervisor and new seniors to do a better job for their cliqued up group to flourish. I was miserable there every day. If you speak up for yourself, you receive reprisal! RUN! I would not recommend this “group” at all. Don’t try to be an “overachiever” or they’ll ostracize you for your good deeds. What sense does that make? None! If you are a contractor, I would recommend that you cross train into something more diverse, and in an environment, where your teammates communicate and train well. If it’s not something that you’re passionate about, I would recommend cross-training before your hiring process commences. Believe me when I tell you! Due to do my personal experiences and what I’ve observed, I would not recommend that you stay where you’re not welcomed or appreciated.

Hiring process WFH/remote Good benefits pay range is good

No job security Saw 3 major layoffs while I was employed Was part of the last layoff

I had the opportunity to collaborate with dedicated business partners, MDs, and end users, fostering a collaborative work environment. Successfully elicited data requirements, reducing data gathering time by 10% through effective communication and collaboration.

At times, the efforts put into collaborative work and process improvements may not be as prominently recognized by the management.

The recruiter was very friendly and nice.

The interview process took FOREVER!! I applied for one role went to 2 interviews, then had the recruiter call me and tell me that I should apply for a position closer to home even though the first position was LEGIT IN MY ZIPCODE. Then I got ghosted.

None. There was potential, but I didn't feel peace in this role at all.

The onboarding for this company is horrible. There is no time to actually learn the company, the projects, the team, or anything. You're on the ground running from day one because of what is required from the company.
