I applied through an employee referral. The process took 7 weeks. I interviewed at Blue Shield Of California (San Francisco, CA) in Jan 2015
Interview
I did a number of informational interviews through my network and I applied to a few job through the website. I had someone internally refer me for one of the positions I applied for on the website. I got a call from a recruiter, then I had a phone conversation with the hiring manager, then they called me in to interview in person with the hiring manager. This all took about 2 months...so it was NOT a fast process. In the end, they cancelled the job.
