      Negotiation

      UPMC really does not budge on salary negotiations. I thought it was about 7-10k lower than I thought it would be, but ended up negotiating for an additional $1000 from the offer.

      Neutral Experience
      Average Interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at UPMC (Pittsburgh, PA) in November 2015.

      Interview

      I went into the room, the woman who was interviewing me was scattered and didn't have my resume. I printed it out off of her computer. The room was a mess, but she didn't seem to mind. It was a cramped room and i sat in a chair next to her desk where she was looking at email as she interviewed me. She was very closed off until I tried to ask about her own life and then she opened up a bit.

      Interview Questions

      • She asked very generic questions like "name a time when you had to deal with a difficult person" or "what would you do if you were running late for work" or "tell me a time when you had to rely on teamwork to get something done."   1 Answer

      Difficult Interview

      Application

      Interview

      I waited two months to receive an email invitation for a phone interview. The interviewer liked me and offered me a face-to-face interview. He told me to bring scrubs to shadow. The interview was very impersonal. She did not ask me anything about myself or my values; just situational questions read off the computer.
