I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Centene (Sunrise, FL) in Sep 2014
Interview
Less than 10 minutes, could not tell who was in charge, they lied in the interview, they bad mouth the recruiting company when one thing was told by the recruiter and they told me something else. Felt trapped as I had given up my other job already. The recruiter did not know what he/she was doing as the job qualifications and hours were not the same when the actual interview occurred.
Initial interview was self-recorded in response to several questions sent. Received second interview request which was virtual with several different hiring managers. Interviewers made me feel comfortable and less nervous. It was a very positive experience.
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Centene (Oakland, CA) in Apr 2025
Interview
Use star questions, research the company, initial interview was 15 min through video. Had 72 hours to complete self-paced video interview. Next step is phone call. Smile, dress professional and be in a professional setting.
STAR method questions asked. Interview was pretty laid back. The team made me feel comfortable during the process. Was allowed to ask questions & interview ended well before the scheduled time.
