TLDR: 7 interviews + a case study. Interviewers each round are kind of based on hierarchy (entry to executive level). 1) Phone screening with HR (~20 minutes, behavioral questions). 2) & 3) Two rounds of panel interviews with people from the team (~1 hour, behavioral/situational/traditional questions). 4) Case study (~1 hour, Google Sheets and questions) with a team member. 5) Another panel interview with executive leaders (~1 hour, behavioral/situational/traditional questions). 6) Interview with VP (~30 minutes, culture/fit questions). 7) On-site interview.
I applied for this position shortly after it was posted online in early November 2025. I used an employee referral during my application, which might have helped a bit in terms of getting a screening. I got an email to sign up for a screening call from a recruiter within a day of applying, with the screening occurring 2 weeks after. During the call, the recruiter gave me a breakdown of the position and asked me ~3 questions. I got a call 2 days later that I made it to the first panel (3 people) interview round which I scheduled for the following week. The team asked around 9-12 questions. On the same day, I was asked to schedule the second round of panel (2 people) interviews for the following week. This interview asked me ~7-10 questions, along with a few “fun” questions. The following week, I was asked to schedule an interview later that week for a business case study done through Google Sheets. The case study was a bit hard for me as I was not too familiar with Google Sheets (I did try to study)… but in hindsight, the questions were not too challenging. The proctor read the questions which made it a bit hard to remember everything to do with the time constraint. That same day, I was asked to schedule the next round of panel interviews (2 people) which I did for the following week. The team asked me ~7-10 questions. That same day, I received a call that I made it to the next round with the VP, which was scheduled for the end of that week. I was asked ~5-8 questions mostly about fit, culture, and environment. Two business days after my interview with the VP, I emailed the recruiter to ask for updates before the holidays and I was informed that another candidate had been selected (unsure if that meant to move forward to the final on-site interview or if they finally got their final candidate), which really bummed me out. I was hopeful as I had gone through so many rounds (a bit excessive at times for the entry-level position and many questions asked were often repeated). I assume they went with a candidate who performed better on the case study and had more "consulting"-aligned experience in healthcare.
All of the interviewers were friendly and the recruiter gave me their feedback afterward. I will say that for one of the interviews, I was asked if I was reading from a script and I had to clarify that I was not, I was just very prepared... so that was kind of awkward and might have influenced the final decision?
Overall, I found the interview process to be efficient and fair as the recruiter kept me updated, interviewers were kind, and most of the questions were not too difficult (minus the case study). I think they were in a rush to hire before the year started, which explains why I had an interview every week.
