I applied online. I interviewed at AltaMed (Montebello, CA) in Nov 2024
Interview
Interviewed over the phone with the recruiter for 5min. Was told I would either hear back from a manager for a follow up interview or receive a declination email. Weeks passed and I received neither.
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at AltaMed (Santa Ana, CA) in Mar 2024
Interview
The process in getting the interview itself is very thorough, given that I spoke with a third party first based on my experience/qualifications, then they assisted me with details of the job before proceeding with the interview with one of the branches itself. The interview was super straightforward, often a panel is involved, with typical interview questions (strengths/weaknesses, experience, etc.) Depending on which branch you go to, the vibe of the interview may vary. I feel like for the most part, as long as you show them your personality and have strong qualifications, the interview isn't too bad :)
