Intern Reviews
- “At Horizon BCBS, the environment is always welcoming and comfortable. Everyone is open to help, and managers are flexible with anything that might be going [on] in one's situation.”
- “I was required to work 40 hours a week, which was perfect. There was no overtime (unless with permission). Everyone is super kind and willing to help you when they can. I didn't experience anybody who was mean and felt welcomed immediately when I started working.”
- “There was a great work-life balance throughout the entire internship, and I never felt stressed throughout the process.”
- “The culture was very welcoming and pro-learning; I had a lot of chances to grow. I worked 40 hours a week, and I had an easy time with work-life balance because I only had to go in person on two days of the week, and I was never given tasks on weekends or after hours.”
Getting Hired Here
- “Super straightforward process and made me feel appreciated for what I had to offer to a company. Interviews were not very antagonizing and were more focused on overall culture fit than technical skills.”
- “Overall, the hiring process was fairly simple. I got a call and email to set up a time and only had one interview session with 4 different people. I connected with them right away, and it didn't seem like they were trying to trick me but actually wanted to learn about me. It was a pretty easy interview. The decision took a while to come back, which was my only issue since I was stressed, but other than that, it was overall a great process.”
- “The process consisted of two interviews, and both felt like a great conversation instead of a rigid interview.”
- “I like how they didn't overcomplicate the interview process as much as other companies tend [to] do. Many companies would ask you to complete an incredibly high number of interviews, while Horizon only required two. The interviews were relatively easy and straightforward, and their standards were reasonable and fair.”
