I applied online. I interviewed at Centene (Saint Louis, MO) in May 2023

Interview questions [1]
Question 1
The interview felt like an interrogation. Easy questions like root cause analysis, what projects I worked on, sql knowledge, Microsoft office knowledge were what it seemed intentionally made difficult. The longest interview was with the director which surprised me because by the time you interview with the director it’s really just an overview of everything. This director interviewed me for the entire hour with the same questions the manager asked previously. Also some of the interviews the staff wasn’t friendly at all.

Lengthy interview process, but the recruiters and team leaders do a great job of setting expectations of what the following interview rounds will look like. Recruiters are also very responsive to questions in between rounds of interviews.

What would your last manager say were your greatest strengths and weaknesses?
This was a few months ago. Got a phone interview with a recruiter. Then a zoom call with lead engineers. Process went smoothly and interviewers were very helpful and nice.
