      Positive experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Cottage Health (Santa Barbara, CA) in Aug 2024

      Interview

      The hour long interview was remote as I currently live in the Bay Area. There was 4 other interviewers, no other candidates in the call. They took turns asking questions.. some of them were repetitive and challenging to answer. The people who interviewed me were incredibly nice and down to earth. They called me the next day with the results of the interview and feedback.
