I applied online. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at Kaiser Permanente (Burbank, CA) in Feb 2012
Interview
Before the initial interview, I was given a pre-screen questionnaire to fill out. After sending that back to the recruiter, I got a call for an in-person interview.
Overall the interviewers were very professional and cordial. Interview questions included a little background about what I currently do (to see how well of a fit i would be in the open position) -- work experience and projects. Group/panel interview questions were more behavioral type questions : "what would you do in this situation..." / "how would you feel if this happened.." "what can kind of contribution can you bring with you if you were hired..."
The wait in between interviews were long --- at least 2 weeks in between interviews.
Hiring manager was apologetic about the slow process. In the end upper management decided not to hire externally and I got an email from the hiring manager explaining to me what had happened. Could have gotten the job, unfortunately they decided not to hire at this time. The hiring manager was nice enough to write the letter himself and volunteered to keep my resume in case any jobs opened up.

Interview
they pretty much want to make sure that there not hiring an idiot. they pay a lot but they expect a lot. if your just into it for the money please dont apply because if you do then your going to hate it. apply because you love what you do and want to excel in your career. kaiser is great they really do take care of there employees. from a-z. the only regret i have is that i didnt apply any sooner.
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Kaiser Permanente (San Diego, CA) in Jan 2012
Interview
I was contacted by the recruiter and exchanged emails and spoke. The hiring manager was nice and professional, and the interview was ok. The post interview follow-up was terrible. Repeated emails to the recruiter went unanswered until I "got the message" and moved on. In the end, not even a form letter email saying - thank you for applying but we selected someone else.
