I applied on Anthem's website in January 2021 through a referral link shared by a friend who is an employee. After a month, I asked her if she had heard anything from HR about my application; she talked to HR who then said there'd been some restructuring in the marketing dept so they'd gotten behind in reviewing applications. Shortly after that, I was given a video interview assignment to complete that consisted of 4-5 questions that I had to answer via video recording and upload. I found this interview process terribly frustrating because there wasn't another person to have a conversation with. There was a time limit and you are given the option to re-record your responses, so after several "takes", this took me the better part of a working day. I submitted my video interview at the end of February and it is the middle of May and I've not heard anything since from Anthem.

Terrible and laughable. Whatever miscommunication occurred, it sucked the lowest person on the totem pole had to deliver it (talent coordinator who was probably just being told things after-the-fact). Here's a timeline of the occurrence: - 4/16 - applied - 4/18 - got an email for a quick phone screen; confirmed for 4/20 - 4/20 - recruiter text 2 minutes before call to reschedule for later; recruiter called at the incorrect time but went through with it anyway; she stated someone would send an email to schedule an interview - 4/24 - email from talent coordinator to schedule interview for 4/27 - 4/24 (3 hours later) - automated email that position was filled - 4/24 - confused but hopeful that perhaps this was a mistake, I confirmed the time - 4/25 - didn't hear back so followed up for update; talent coordinator emailed saying position was filled Completely laughable and unprofessional process; and highly confused how within 1 week they hired someone (while continuing to email others about interviews). Perhaps I'm the 1% that this happened to but I have a feeling based on other reviews this is a larger problem. Fix your process (or your HR team) please so they can respect people's time.
