Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center Interview Questions

Approached by a recruiter, applied, had a phone screening interview for about 20-30 minutes and then was invited for an in-person interview. From applying to job offer, the application process took about 2 weeks.

Not exactly sure if this counts, as I apparently didn't even make it past the phone call with the recruiter. But anyway, I received a phone call from an internal recruiter shortly after applying. She screened me and assured me that multiple departments would be interested. A day or so later, she sent me an email assuring me that a specific person would be contacting me soon to schedule an interview. After a week or so of waiting for that person to contact me, I contacted the recruiter to let them know. The recruiter answered days later saying that the director who was supposed to contact me was just out of office and assured me not to worry. Again, she assured me that multiple departments wanted to speak to me. After a week and still no contact from that department, I checked the job listing to see that it had been filled and the position was closed. Obviously, these positions are competitive and people are busy, but the experience wasn't great. I have volunteered for this hospital before, so this isn't the first time I've been entangled in an interdepartmental communication lapse. It's all honestly turned me off from this hospital completely.

Interviewed with multiple departments many times never received formal job offer. Interviews were virtual through zoom due to pandemic. Managers very nice and accommodating/ flexible with interview scheduling. Pleasant experience overall.

The interview process was smooth and simple. The directions to the virtual interview was very clear and easy to navigate. Interviews made me feel comfortable and made sure they gave me a chance to gather my thoughts before answering.

Never made it to the interview round because of the timed coding challenge. The instructions said I can choose any programming language but that was true of only 2/3 of the questions. The 3rd was Java only.

The interview process was very tedious but rewarding. They ask many situation based questions, so it would be helpful to have that prepared. They want as much detail as possible. It is a little nerve wrecking but it is a great way to think outside of the box about your answers.

The nurse manager provided an overview of the floor. Then they asked me some questions. Told me they would reach out to the recruiter. Received an offer from HR in the next 2 weeks.

1 interview where they asked technical and behavioral questions. Most of the questions were pretty standard although some were a little more challenging. Interviewers took notes as you answered the questions.

Zoom interview with 2 nurses and 1 NP. They went over the structure of the program and then asked me questions (some below). The experience was pretty friendly and conversational.

Four virtual interviews in total - two with the hiring manager and two with senior leadership. One HR conversation to confirm qualifications. Asked insightful questions, and was focused primarily on interpersonal and leadership skills.
