I applied through a recruiter. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Centene (Silver Spring, MD) in Feb 2016
Interview
1) Contacted by recruiter HR screening 2) Phone interview with directors. The first part of the interview was very pleasant and welcome. The second part interview was nerve wrecking. Questions were thrown at you and there was an uneasy judgemental tone to the interview. The interview was not friendly or conversational.

Question 1
The first part interview I was asked questions related to working in Agile environment. Second part focus on past work history and my goals.
Job Description did not even resemble the actual job description being offered.
Hiring Manager was 15 minutes late to the interview and was disorganized. The manager did not appear to have even read my resume and intimated that an internal candidate was the favorite for the job. I wondered why I was being interviewed if the hiring manager had already made that choice.

I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Centene (Saint Louis, MO) in Sep 2014
Interview
Pretty corporate. 90+% taken from HR list of standard questions. Name one time when you... Positive traits? Negative traits? What is one thing that sets you apart from other candidates?
One interview with HR and one with hiring managers. Both ask similar questions. Company uses employee referral to hire for a lot of its positions.
