I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Kaiser Permanente in Nov 2013
Interview
I was surprised at the lack of urgency. I felt like the process took a long time (2 months from interview to hire, but the job was posted for a couple months before I applied). Since being in the company and seeing the entire hiring process, I think it's fair to say the process takes an average of 3-5 months from positing to hire. Once I actually received an interview I was turned off by the aloof attitude of the hiring manager. The interview itself was more heavily focused on my technical proficiency and skills, as opposed to culture fit/personality (perhaps it was because I was referred from someone internally, so the hiring manager assumed I would be a "fit.")

Question 1
I was not expecting multiple skill/proficiency tests
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Kaiser Permanente (Bakersfield, CA) in Aug 2010
Interview
Interview took place with a panel of two other candidates and three total interviewers. Awkward and stressful interview that led to one of the other candidates, who worked within the organization, to despise me upon getting the job over him.

Question 1
How would you handle the schedule when an employee calls out and another employee wants to go home sick?
I applied in-person. I interviewed at Kaiser Permanente
Interview
Very basic questions about yourself and values. Asked "what is one time you...." type questions regarding leadership, work ethic, personality, etc. Made me write an overview of an article in 20 min. Overall pretty easy, first interview I've ever had so I was really nervous and didn't well. Wish I had prepared answers.
