I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Healthfirst (New York, NY) in Aug 2018
Interview
Phone screen talking about a few healthcare analytics-related topics. I then was scheduled for a panel of 4 interviews at their office in the Financial District near the Oculus. It was a nice building, and the interviewers were all great. Most asked about technical analytical stuff, mainly through describing projects I did in the past. At least one of the interviewers was mainly there as an "opinion" interviewer. Each one of them were curious about my coding skills in SQL, SAS, and VBA, and they were interested in Python as well. They got back to me quickly after as I was in the pipeline for another position as well. The offer was for more than one team and I had the pick. Overall a great interview process, the people seem very passionate and friendly. No one shied away from questions that might have put the company in a "bad" light. I think if you are the right candidate they will do whatever they can to get you which for me shows that the company is focused on acquiring and nurturing talent.

Describe a join in SQL. Experience with Excel and SQL.
The recruiter reached out about three weeks after I applied. It was an initial phone interview that was quick and to the point. The recruiter genuinely cared about finding a position that was the best fit for you.
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Healthfirst (New York, NY)
Interview
Worst interview experience. The hiring manager didn’t show up to the last round in person.
Out of 3 people I was supposed to meet (another director, the hiring manager and a senior analyst) only the analyst showed up.
On top of it, no apologies or excuses. In fact I didn’t hear anything until I followed up and got some vague answer.
Extremely unprofessional team and organization, to allow a team like that to operate.

Question 1
A few pages of code that were shuffled and a page was missing. Again, very disorganized.
