Was called my the hiring manager and they basically just talked through my resume with me. It was rather informal and informational. Later I got followed up with by a recruiter who let me know they were going to offer me the job. I hadn't even realized the initial phone call was an interview.
Initial phone interview with someone from HR. Questions were mostly easy behavior ones like why I picked my major. Called back for an onsite interview with the manager I would be working for. Questions were a mix of situational questions like "tell me a time when you were in charge of a group", and about my programming experience. They did take a very long time to get back to me after that interview. about a month later they called me with an offer.
I applied online. I interviewed at Centene (Saint Louis, MO) in Apr 2017
Interview
The interview process was typical and pretty easy. A lot of it was my manager sharing about what she did and the position being offered. I was asked if I wanted to be a developer in IT because the position did not involve development. I said no because I wanted to be on more of the business side of IT.
