I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Cleveland Clinic (Beachwood, OH) in Mar 2017
Interview
Interview took 2.5 months to schedule and reschedule. The phone interview was rescheduled twice, the face to face interview was rescheduled three times. The Clinic recently outsourced a fair portion of their IT human resources to IBM. This was something I had to ask about in the interview, and I am glad I did. One interviewer out of seven during the four hour face to face ordeal had tears streaming down his cheek when he stated that he had worked with these people in IT for decades, and that many would lose their job in July 2017. When I asked how they would be replaced by IBM employees, he stated that he didn't know how any project would be completed, as most of the resources supporting the Clinic IT infrastructure would simply not be replaced, and the CIO of the Cleveland Clinic left over this decision and others. Not encouraging at all, not the place to be for sure. These knuckleheads had candidates complete a business case. Then it was four plus hours of different people asking you the same questions over and over. Some took notes, others didn't. Interviewers basically stated they had no authority in managing large critical IT projects, and that they felt helpless with the outsourcing of most resources to IBM.

Question 1
The best question "How do you feel you would manage a project where no one in the Clinic had authority over the IT resources that had to execute the project?"
Great and personable interview process. Not overly formal, answered all questions and gave an appropriate amount of time each round to get to know the role and team. Multiple channels, virtual and in-person; three rounds.

I applied online. I interviewed at Cleveland Clinic (Cleveland, OH) in Jan 2026
Interview
online zoom call with four interviewers, they had prepared a few questions. They really wanted experience with Slicer on EPIC. It also seemed like they wanted someone who knew the backend and networks in Cleveland Clinic already.

The first round was great! The recruiter called on time, and it lasted about 30 minutes. I was given a time line of what would happen next and if I moved forward, who I would be meeting with.
