Recruiter was nice enough, had a decent 30 min chat. Then immediately scheduled phone screen. I had two interviewers with nice education credentials but were both really awkward the minute the interview started. It was as if they didn't really want to be there, and it was clear they did not read my resume or care much about what I was saying (no good followup questions/enthusiasm). So at this point I give them the benefit of the doubt, maybe they had a bad day, or they are the silent type.
So they give me the technical challenge, which I solved. They asked me runtime/complexity, whether I could improve upon the complexity. I improved it by the time the time was up. They agreed with me on all the answers I gave.
Next day, I receive a generic rejection from the recruiter (no real feedback). Really weird, I have stumbled on technical challenges before and still made it to the next round, but I basically gave them a O(log n) answer and still did not "advance" to next round? Seems there were personal reasons at play here.
Not sure I would recommend wasting time applying here.
Great! Focused system design + average leetcode questions. Behavioral interview was very nice and straightforward. Systems design interview include building a scribe tool for doctors to use. Was more a paired session with the interviewer.
It was pretty normal as far as interviews in tech go for entry level engineers. It felt like they were spending more time selling me on their product than on questioning me. Some standard Leetcode style question.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Something about the minimum travel distance on a keyboard grid.
Medium difficulty. Interviewed before the company abruptly shut down. Like the team, did not get many specifics about the business, particularly regarding the care pods. It was a few phone screens and then onsite.
