Questions and Answers about Inova Health System

Schedule is flexible for everyone, you start at 6:30, 7...I love that flexibility at Telestar Court, and Monday to Friday.

The turnover at every level is atrocious. There is little communication between support offices. Culture is, and has been, quite bad across the board. Every time there is a “regime change” a good number of projects will be scrapped and different priorities enacted.

Inova is a very large, very expensive barge without a captain who thinks that it is a luxury yacht. They are executive heavy with a generous bonus system for management. They do not provide routine cost of living raises that keep up with the economy. They launch programs such as “merit increase based rewards” without having a system in place to accurately measure employee performance. They don’t even have an accurate catalogue of job descriptions.

This place is a hot mess that continues to reward their top echelon without making any sustained progress on improving employee satisfaction.

For MA position I talked to a recruiter who asked me basic screening questions, then the hiring manager who asked me typical interview questions like what is your weakness, strengths, how do you work in a team etc, then interviewed with the doctor at the site who asked me what I would do in certain scenarios. Heard back in 4 days after interview, no follow up email except from recruiter who gave me an offer letter

As an external candidate, applied, HR called the next day, interviewed with HR, one week later interviewed with manager, next week interviewed with staff. Got job offer two weeks later with start date pending background check. Background check took total three weeks - delay was because of my previous employer was slow to respond. Background check cleared one week before start date. Also one week prior, had to go to occupational health to do TB and drug screen, turn in vaccine records. Total time from application to start date, 7 weeks.

Resigned for being Harassed
I would rather work in a Retail Store where they appreciate you more than work for Inova. Upper Management is horrible and they only promote their favorites which in most cases are not qualified for positions they are being placed in. The environment is hostile, Manager harasses and recruits her pets to report lies on targeted employees. Unfortunately, they have a mission they truly don't stand by. You can't trust the people in this company not even HR when you file complaints.

Start with management

One thing I noticed about Mount Vernon...everyone seemed happy to be there and truly genuine. The interview was informal and relaxed.

Work/life experience
