I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Aetna (Houston, TX) in Jul 2018
Interview
I applied on 07/03/2018. Received a call from the recruiter on 07/09/2018 and she said she wanted wanted me to meet with the hiring manager on 07/10/2018. When I arrived the hiring manager wasn’t there but I met with one of her colleagues in person and another via phone. They asked the STAR interview based questions and at the end asked if I had any questions for them. They told me the hiring manager would be calling once she was back in town for a in person interview. The hiring manager called me the next day and I was scheduled for a phone interview with her on 07/13/2018. She was very nice and told me in detail about the position and the company. She told me I should be hearing from the recruiter the following week but I heard nothing. On 07/20/2018 I decided to call but she didn’t answer or return my call until 07/23/2018 to let me know that the hiring manage would like to move forward with me. I was sent the link to fill out the official application and on 07/24/2018 I was called by the recruiter with a verbal offer! I had to complete my drug test within two business days and on 07/27/2018 GIS emailed me a link to authorize the background check. Now I’m just waiting on that to be completed! My start date is 08/27!!

I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Aetna in Dec 2021
Interview
1st contact was from a recruiter on 11/30/21. Tried to call back, no response. A 2nd recruiter called me the following week for a 15 min phone screen and said she would forward my resume to the hiring dept. A couple days later, the 1st recruiter called again for a phone screen. I asked if he works with the other recruiter, because I had a very similar call already. He said "oh yes, she must have forgotten to take your name off the call list." This recruiter actually scheduled me for an interview the following week 12/14. I received an email with details for my interview with David Carpenter the day before the interview. I was under the impression the Zoom interview would be with him, but when I joined the meeting it was a woman. She said she was one of the supervisors. She said they recently changed the name of the position I applied for, but she couldn't remember the new name. (????) She seemed very disorganized, asking irrelevant and vague, confusing questions and seemed irritated when I asked for clarification. She had zero people skills, making the entire interview extremely uncomfortable and awkward. She said a recruiter would reach out to me within 2 weeks. On 12/23, I received an email from a recruiter stating that they would like to move me forward to the next step, and to complete an official application. I submitted this, then waited for a while with no communication. Then, on 1/12 I received an email stating I was not selected for the position. It seems like they round as many people up as possible (like cattle) and waste their time.
