Kaiser Permanente interview questions

Round 1 was a brief screening discussion and round 2 was a brief behavioral/experience questions. Round 2 felt as if a decision had already been made and they were just checking the boxes that they interviewed at least 3 people.

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.
