I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at DaVita (Royal Oak, MI) in May 2017
Interview
Started with online evaluation you take, after that I was contacted by a recruiter and had a phone interview. Followed by a panel interview with administration, and lastly a one on one interview with the facility administrator and shadowed a current tech for about an hour. I'm glad a got to shadow a tech because the video they show you on the application site is no where near how it really is. Its very fast paced and slightly overwhelming. I am still waiting to hear back if I got the job or not, but at this point it's been several days and I have not heard anything. Overall the company seems like a great company to work for and there's potential to move up. But if you struggle with multitasking, learning quickly and working 12-15 hour days starting at 3am; then this job won't be for you. I wasn't impressed with the pay offered, but I couldn't negotiate because I was inexperienced.
Interesting, the interviewer was very enthusiastic and supportive. They really emphasized communicating calmly with coworkers and helping prioritize tasks. It was a very humbling interview, despite how easy-going the interviewer was.
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at DaVita (Orlando, FL) in Nov 2025
Interview
I applied to DaVita even after seeing many negative reviews from current and former employees, hoping my experience would be different. Unfortunately, it confirmed what I had already read.
Throughout the hiring process, I tried to be as flexible as possible. After completing the first interview as well as a 1.5-hour job shadow (which gave me the impression I was moving forward), I was told they were selecting another candidate because I “wasn’t flexible to float around to different clinics.” I clearly stated to the manager that I was willing to travel to other clinics if needed. Despite that, This explanation felt inconsistent with what I had communicated from the beginning.
The lack of transparency and clear communication made the entire process feel unprofessional and misleading. I invested my time and effort based on expectations they set, only to be given a reason that didn’t align with the facts.
If you are considering applying here, I would advise looking into other dialysis companies first.
