I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Kaiser Permanente in Jul 2007
Interview
My interview was not typical. I think that the manager hired me mostly on a whim. I have heard from coworkers that they were grilled for nearly an hour in panel interviews. I had a nice 1/2 hr conversation with the manager and a tour of the hospital.
