              Long waiting time between each interview. Multiple interviews needed. There’s even a brain teaser and technical questions. Interviewers are really nice and will devote that time slot just to answer your questions. They are pretty open minded

                Interview

                Of the other Tech Companies I interviewed, I enjoyed Microsoft the most. Challenging but very engaging. While there were case studies, it did not feel overly scripted or scored. The team was engaged while at the same time posing challenging questions and engaging in dialog.

                      Good afternoon I have an interview with the hiring manager at Elevance health. I've done some research into the role and company and believe I have some good questions to ask back. What are some other general questions or industry specific questions any of you would ask? Thanks in advance!
