I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Centene (Atlanta, GA) in Oct 2023
Interview
Received call back day after application. Screening with recruiter, interview with potential colleagues then final interview with director. Had to provide writing sample. All interviews were virtual over zoom. Was asked typical ‘STAR’ questions. Did not receive benefits info until offer was made.

I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Centene (Louisville, KY) in Feb 2024
Interview
It was straight forward and easy to follow. It included 1 interview with the hiring manager and 1 with the current team members. The whole process took just under 3 weeks.

Question 1
What experience/project have you performed that improved the consumer experience?
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Centene (Columbus, OH) in Sep 2024
Interview
Prior to the interview, I was informed that behavioral interview questions would be a key part of the process, with a focus on the STAR method (Situation, Task, Action, Result) to discuss relevant experiences. I prepared thoroughly for this format, structuring my responses accordingly.
However, during the interview, the questions were unstructured and random, rather than following the expected behavioral format outlined in your communication. This approach made it difficult for me to provide the detailed, specific examples I had prepared. Additionally, the lack of structure didn’t allow for a clear demonstration of my skills and experiences through the STAR method, as I was led to expect.
While I understand that interviews can be flexible, I was surprised by the deviation from what was communicated. As a candidate, clear expectations help ensure I can present my qualifications effectively.
