I applied online and was contacted by a recruiter. Our conversation was brief, because he offered no useful information about the role or WebMD. I know it’s a well known brand but I do expect to learn about the work and it’s expectation, etc. He asked me no questions that assessed my ability for the role or my fitness under the division of responsibility I would own. I even asked if there were any questions about my background and experience. Still, very little engagement. He was to touch base after and it’s been two weeks +.
It was a pathetic show of interest and quite unprofessional, but given the ratings (2.9?! Yikes—someone should do something about your unhappy team members,) I suspect it runs through the company’s veins.
I’m withdrawing my candidacy because I can do better than a company with indifferent talent agents.
Phone interview w/in house recruiter. This was followed by in-persons with direct report, engineer and design teams. The last was an in-person with the hiring manager. I received a call from the recruiter a day after my last interview.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Describe how a calendar notification feature would work to enhance the user experience of an Rx app.
I applied online. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at WebMD Health (New York, NY)
Interview
1. Initial call w/(internal) recruiter.
2. In-person interview w/hiring manager & members of design & engineering and data teams.
3. In-person interview w/department head.
The interview process was average in difficulty. Truly more conversational; looking for cultural-fit.
Overall a very long process. Eight or nine rounds of interview including an exercise where I created a presentation for the team to review.
I just wish the process was faster and more straightforward.
