This was the weirdest interview I've ever had. The interviewer did not seem interested and was just reading a list of questions without even listening to the answers. I answered her "why do I want to work here?" question three times because she kept asking it different ways. Also she could not tell me exactly what the platform did. She kept saying it's AI for healthcare but when I asked her about the details, she struggled to tell me. And their website is not very helpful. When you watch demos, it just talks about HIPAA.
This whole process was strange. The recruiter found me on LinkedIn and asked for a call. I found the call very quick and I felt like I was grilled with questions only and no room to talk. I didn't hear back for weeks, so I followed up to be told they needed more time for screenings. I ended up taking another role with another company.
First, after 1 or 2 interviews they forgot about my application and I had to remind them to proceed to the next interviews.
I had a technical interview which involved setting up a quick project using a tool I had never used before. To start, the interviewer said that we probably would not get through all of the questions in the time we had but that was OK. I ended up finishing all of the questions in half of the time. After this interview I was told that they were not going to continue my application but I had already decided I would not have taken a job there anyway.
My interviewer was very rude and spent most of his time talking about his personal projects and his side job instead of the company and/or position I was applying for. I never felt so awkard in an interview as it felt like the interviewer was just wanting to brag and stroke his ego.
Hard pass
