The interview process at UCSF is pretty structured but welcoming. It usually starts with a phone screen, followed by one or more virtual or in-person panel interviews. Depending on the role, you might meet with HR first, then the hiring manager, and sometimes a group from the team. They’re big on behavioral questions—expect prompts like “Tell me about a time when…” and a focus on UCSF’s core values like collaboration, accountability, and diversity. Communication is usually pretty consistent throughout, and the process can take a couple of weeks from start to offer.
