I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Centene in Mar 2015
Interview
First interview went well. The IT manager was attentive and felt relaxed. 2nd rounds interviews, some managers and directors were not very attentive. One was doodling on the interview packet. Multiple interviews in a row for 2nd round made it stressful.

Interview with manager, then with team tech lead plus a couple of devs. I think it was around a 30 minute call with the manager, then an hour call with the team.

Question 1
If you don't have the experience, are you willing to put in the time to learn?
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Centene (Saint Louis, MO) in Apr 2023
Interview
The interview was professional but also quite laid back. There were two people present (a hiring manager and a lead developer). Both were friendly, and I was able to have an easy conversation with them and did not feel nervous at all.

Question 1
Given a MySQL table, how do you pull all of the values with a specific characteristic?
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Centene (Tampa, FL) in Jan 2021
Interview
I was contacted by e-mail the day after putting in my application. The first stage was an automated interview where I filmed answers to a few questions. It was weird, but I did it, and less than six hours later I got confirmation that I would have a video interview with some of the lead developers. There were no whiteboarding/live programming challenges. One week after that, I was told I had the job.
The entire process, from putting in my application to being told I had the job (but not including the time for the background check) was two weeks.
