The interview process for Medcan’s MBA Rotational Program was long (3months to be exact), demanding, and ultimately frustrating due to poor communication and lack of transparency.
1. Multiple Rounds: The process included two in-person, one-hour-long interviews and two separate presentations, each requiring extensive preparation. These assessments tested strategic thinking, client management, and problem-solving skills.
2. High Effort, Low Consideration: The level of effort required was substantial, with candidates expected to create in-depth presentations. However, there was no clear timeline for decisions, and follow-ups were met with delayed, vague, or generic responses.
3. Unclear Decision-Making: Despite stating that a final decision would be made in two weeks, it took way longer to receive a response—only to be informed that they were moving in a “different direction due to business priorities.” This suggests a lack of structured hiring decisions rather than a merit-based selection.
Interview Difficulty: High – mostly due to the excessive workload rather than complexity.
Advice to Future Applicants:
Be prepared for a long and uncertain hiring process. If you’re considering applying, I’d recommend asking upfront about decision timelines and expectations to avoid wasted effort. Don’t expect proactive communication—follow up regularly if you want answers.
