Entrevista
Completed a video interview (read and record answers) that consisted of basic questions. More than a month later, received an email from the HR recruiter stating is was nice to connect with me to discuss the position. I never discussed the position with them or anyone else from Centene…

Something similar to “Tell about a time you worked on something new. What was your process?”

The interview with the hiring manager almost seemed lifeless, like a canned script. First - elevator pitch from the hiring manager, "Why do you want to work at Centene?" then a bunch of random SQL questions. They made no effort to get to know me or roll on a conversation. Every question was off a script. One of the hiring managers didn't want to turn on their video, even though it was a video interview. Seemed like the type of place that would stick you into a box and lay you off without a second thought. Would have declined if I got an offer.

Entrevista
I applied for the Data Analyst II role via the Centene careers website. The interview process started with a phone screening by HR, followed by a panel interview with a senior analyst and the team manager.
The questions were mostly straightforward, focusing on my experience with SQL, working with CMS data, and understanding of the role. The panel was professional and courteous throughout the discussion.
After the interview, I didn’t hear back for nearly a month. Eventually, I received a rejection email stating that the hiring needs had changed, which was a bit disappointing after investing time in the process.
Advice to Other Candidates:
Be ready to discuss your technical background, especially around SQL and healthcare data. While the interview itself was standard and professional, communication on the outcome could be improved to avoid long periods of silence.

Straightforward. Started with screening call, then interview with team. Includes a mix of behavioral and technical questions. The timeline was also very quick. I liked that the interviewers were pleasant and professional.
