First I did a pre-recorded interview and then was interviewed by a panel. It was the most uncomfortable interview I've ever had. I felt like I was being interviewed by a group of cliquey high school girls. They were very rude and unfriendly and asked highly inappropriate questions. On top of that, they never followed up with me after the 2 interviews, which says a lot about them as a company.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What sort of impressions do you make on other people?
"I can't understand your personality. I don't get who you are as a person. What is your personality?"
What is your management style?
I applied online. I interviewed at HealthCore in Jun 2021
Interview
A recruitment coordinator reached out to me, scheduled the interview, and I met with a HealthCore manager. I applied online at Anthem though and it wasn't explained to me HealthCore was a subsidiary until I asked, which made it very confusing.
I didn't understand what the previous review below me meant by 'mean girls' until I did the panel interview. I was interviewed by three ladies + the manager that interviewed me for the initial screening. Nobody cracked a smile nor did they introduce themselves properly - ex: "My name is XYZ and I've been with HealthCore for 2 years" (which isn't helpful to get to know the team). They were not very warm people to talk to and didn't seem to have an interest in speaking with me. I was very tempted to just end the call, that's how unbearable it was talking to them.
It was the most awkward interview I have ever encountered. I think the panel should reword their questions better, for example instead of asking "What is your communication style," simply ask "Give me an example of when you encountered a difficult situation and how did you communicate to your project team?"

Question 1
What is your communication style? I still don't understand what type of communication style you have?
