I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Kaiser Permanente (San Diego, CA) in Dec 2017
Interview
I applied online and after 2 weeks I received a phone call from the service chief to have face to face interview. There was NO iternary. I was asked to spend 3 hours shadowing a physician doing patient care in the floor ( kind of odd to me). The physician herself was upset with her current job that I am applying !
After that, I was taken to lunch at a local restaurant. There were 4 physicians from that department who showed no or little interest in explaining the job descriptions. When I asked where shall I work ? The answer was : we have seven clinic and you need to cover them on as needed basis. After that, there was an interview with another 5 physicians asking several questions: why Kaiser? Weakness? Trade off with academic and research,,,,,etc.
After finishing that day...I was waiting for 3 weeks without receiving a reply. I texted the service chief and he didn’t bother himself to reply instead the recruiter called and left a voice message.

Question 1
They asked about my past experience and credentials.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Kaiser Permanente (San Diego, CA)
Interview
They had 2 one-hour panel interviews (panel included site leads and non-physician clinic employees), lunch with the clinic physicians, and a dinner. Another candidate vying for the same role was there interviewing for the day as well. It was very intense and formal. Some of the interviewers made faces or didn’t even make eye contact with me. They didn’t tell me other candidates would be there during my interview day. I was referred by a current employee and the process took 3 months to talk to a recruiter, to have the chief call me, then to finally get an interview. Then another 2 weeks to tell me that they selected the other candidate (a new graduate who is a white male, while I’m a female person of color with 6 more years of experience). They did ask if I was interested in a part time role instead where I can’t work anywhere else.
