Anonymous Employee in Boston, MA
I applied online. I interviewed at Massachusetts General Hospital (Boston, MA) in Aug 2022
Applied and received a call to interview about 2 weeks later. The interview was with 6 of the nurse managers in the OR and the nurse educator. Walking in was a bit intimidating, but everyone was engaged and kind. I received an email a little over three weeks later saying that HR would be contacting the following week with next steps. The HR represesentative was incredibly condescending and frankly rude.
