I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at DaVita (Minneapolis, MN) in Oct 2017
Interview
I spoke to a great recruiter who asked me phone interview questions, selected me for a inperson interview. I then went to corporate location to interview, interviewed with 3 ladies who all took turns on asking interview realated questions, including why I was interested. 20 mins after my interview I recieved a email from my recruiter asking how I thought it went I said great 5 mins later I was called to do a 2 hour job shadow. Then from there the manager of where I shadowed had to give feedback on me to the hiring manager. I got the job and very excited to start
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.
