Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Presentation skills, Excel skills, reports, etc. What kind of manager would you like to work with?
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 6 months. I interviewed at Kaiser Permanente (Oakland, CA) in Apr 2013
Interview
Took over 6 months. During this time 2 recruiters either left or went on leave of absence and never assigning the process to a counter part. It was a lot of waiting before I was informed that the req was closed.
I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Kaiser Permanente (San Diego, CA) in Dec 2010
Interview
Many hoops to jump through. A series of interviews, thorough background check, and a drug (urine) test.
The process for me consisted of three interviews, one with the recruiter, one with the supervisor-to-be, and the last one with the hiring manager (Director). A long, drawn-out process. They conduct the most intensive hiring process I've ever seen for a company, aside from government positions.

Question 1
I don't recall specifics, but the interview with the hiring manager consisted of mostly work-related questions directly associated with the position to be filled.
