Recruiter call went fine, followed by tech screen with someone who clearly didn't want to be there and whose grasp of TypeScript was shaky at best. Completed the problem, explained how object lookups work in TypeScript, interview ended, rejection without feedback came a few days later.

Write an event emitter that that can unsubscribe from events in O(1) time. Pro tip: make sure you know how to do it in python.
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Candid Health (Denver, CO) in Apr 2026
Interview
The process was quick, technical call with recruiter to talk about the basics. Then the next was a 'collaborative' coding assessment which I was told was more focused on how you think and problem solve than anything else. The interviewer was stumped by several of my clarifying questions to the coding problem but I was not moved forward after the coding round despite answering his questions correctly. I am unsure if it was embarrassing for him or what I did wrong but they would not provide me that feedback.
Nice company, worked through coding exercise, and system design review was tough. Interviewed over a few weeks, Full-Stack, had some issues with explaining the full system, but ultimately came down to domain experience.

Initial screening then a technical round. I only made it to the technical round. I solved the challenge but I guess I didn't solve it exactly how he wanted? These types of coding challenges seem irrelevant in this day and age especially if you solve the challenge.
