Interview process was simple and efficient. Compensation as Recruiter did not provide enough information about the organization. I believe that recruiter should be more forthcoming about painting the truew picture within the org for compensation.He was kind of pushy about settling the offer.

The interviews were quickly arranged after I applied. Three different days to complete the process; which was a lot of time away from my current job. They paid for all the parking which was very decent as parking is expensive. Everyone was wonderful, very cordial - and were willing to answer all questions. The whole day of interviews was a challenge, but everyone did everything that they could to make is as pleasant an experience as possible.

The interview was a 1 hour interview with the physician I would have been working with. She gave a lot of hypothetical research examples, and then asked a lot of "where would you go next with this knowledge/data." Overall, I think that the interview went well, but they are really looking for prior experience.

Received an email informing me to schedule a phone interview so that I can speak to someone at human resources to see if i was a good fit for the position as well as to give me more information about the position. The interview was very slow paced, it took about 45 minutes, the questions were basic interview questions such as "Tell me a time where you thought you handled a situation to the best of your ability," "what do you consider one of your strenghts/weaknesses?"

The interview process was quite seamless as compared to other hospitals. I had the initial telephone screening to ensure that I had the qualifications that the department was looking for. This was followed by the first interview to meet the leadership team. Afterwards, I was interviewed by a round table of staff represented by the various sub-departments. This was quite different but at the same time it gave me the opportunity to meet the line staff so I can get a sense of whether it will be a good fit.

The interview was conducted over the phone. A lot of the same questions I answered online in the application process were asked again, along with more specific ones. I was told to wait around two weeks to hear back one way or another. The questions asked that were not job-specific were very typical interview questions.

The interview process was about 4 months long. It was very long and drawn out. They never sent me updates about the status of my candidacy and I had to send about 4 different follow up/inquiry emails to finally get a response. At the end of whole experience, I get a template generic email from the recruiter telling me they chose another candidate. No phone call, no personalized email.

Through 3 rounds of interviews, they never screened for salary requirements. During my second round of interviews, one interviewee asked me what country I was from.

After spending many months and countless hours applying for positions at CHOP, I can safely say that their interview process is atrocious. It is extremely impersonal and there is no one to follow up with. To be clear, I had both phone interviews and in-person interviews here. I have now given up pursuing any position here because they are not friendly and will lead you to believe you are an excellent candidate and they will be contacting you in "1-2 weeks". It never happens. Don't waste your time.

I applied online after receiving an employee referral. A week later I received an email to complete a recorded webcam interview on my computer which was very weird. A recruiter then emailed me a few days later to set up an in-person interview with the floor manager. After interviewing 1:1 with the floor manager I shadowed a nurse on the floor for 8hrs the following week. I got an email the next day letting me know I did not receive the job. It was a pretty quick process and I appreciated how fast they got back to me so I wasn't waiting around waiting to hear if I got the job or not.

Not very detailed. Seemed like they were more interested in personality questions. A lot of general questions about past projects with little emphasis on coding. This was a web dev position maintaining and enhancing many internal company sites. I think they look for steady even tempered candidates

Getting an interview at CHOP is extremely difficult. You are first required to set up an appointment for a phone interview with HR, and, if the actual hiring manager wants to talk to you, HR will call you to come for an in-person interview. After years of trying to get past the phone interview stage, I finally go t an in-person interview. I was so excited!
I spent weeks following what seemed like a successful phone interview researching the company and brushing up on my technical knowledge. Finally, on the day of my interview, I went online to read over the job description one more time. I was surprised to see that the status of the job has switched from "Open" to "Closed". I thought that they must have stopped accepting applications.
I finally got dressed up, paid train fare to get to the interview (during the middle of the work day, mind you), and finally arrived at CHOP. When I arrived at the office of the person who was supposed to interview me, he was not there, and no one knew where he was. I waited 10 minutes or so, and the second person who was scheduled to interview me came into the office and asked me to follow her to hers. There, she told me she was glad to get to opportunity to interview me first, so she could leave on time (really?). She was pleasant enough, but rushed and kept asking me really vague, soft ball questions. Not what I was expecting at all. Soon, the man who was supposed to interview me first appeared at the door, and the woman I was speaking to immediately ushered me out of the door, telling me to call with any questions--but didn't give me her business card so I could actually do so.
The interview with the man was the same--vague, rushed questions, the same invitation to call with any questions without giving me his business card. I was lead out without even being invited to see the area where I would be working if accepted.
Then, literally ON THE TRAIN RIDE HOME, I saw that I had received an email, which had been sent DURING MY INTERVIEW telling me that they had already hired someone else for the job! They had brought be in for a FAKE interview, knowing the whole time that they had no intention of hiring me. The people interviewing me must have been laughing at me behind their welcoming smiles.
This company may very well respect their patients, but they have absolutely no respect for potential employees. I'll be sure to tell everyone I know to be weary of interview offers from CHOP, as the company could just be using them as they used me.
