I applied through college or university. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Forward in Dec 2023
Interview
First round was phone interview with the recruiter. It went well as I prepped by looking through the material they gave me. Then, the second was coding. I ran out of time but I was able to solve the first question.
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.
