I applied through other source. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Premera Blue Cross (Mountlake Terrace, WA) in Sep 2010
Interview
Originally applied for one position but was ultimately offered another. Had some reservations due to the "feeling" I was getting from the various interviewers I met with. Like they weren't being entirely open and honest about the work environment I would face there. The old saying "Misery loves company" was in the back of my mind the whole time through the lengthy two-month process but I stuck it out anyway. The IT organization seemed a little in disarray as they were looking to fill numerous positions after a recent general house clearing of their middle management and senior tech positions. After joining they literally threw a dysfunctional department into my lap and said fix it. Note to Self: Ask more probing questions about the organization and about the condition of their IT systems next time!

Question 1
Why Premera? This and other very fuzzy questions. There was very little technical in the technical interview.
I applied in-person. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Premera Blue Cross (Spokane, WA) in Jun 2015
Interview
Done the lazy way. Sometimes they tell you did not get other times they let you do the job then after all the work is done tell you by the way you were not selected.
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Premera Blue Cross (Mountlake Terrace, WA) in Nov 2010
Interview
Overall the interview process was great. Except it became apparent that one of the the interviewers fed me bad information. I already knew about their environment yet this manager provided incorrect information. The same manager also trashed other teams during the interview.
I am ok with not getting the job. Who wants to work with someone who is trashing team members during an interview. Going in a person needs to trust what their boss tells them first.
