I applied online. I interviewed at Flatiron Health
Interview
Was given a short technical exercise, followed up with a 1 hour video interview. What a waste of time. The interview was very simple but extremely vague. The position says using Data Science tools, but questions are on database design. Out of the 1 hour interview, I was given the opportunity to ask questions for 30 minutes. While as an applicant it is sometimes great to get a chance to ask questions, but when you answer everything correctly, and the interviewer does not choose to ask more / detailed questions regarding the solution, you often wonder what could be the evaluation criteria for the interview. It felt, such interviews comes down to the whims of the recruiting team, and does not do great job in helping the company attract top quality talent.

I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Flatiron Health (London, England) in Nov 2023
Interview
Upfront hacker rank for screening, one general live coding screening and then 4 - 5 rounds of comprehensive interview including behavioural and live coding. Interviewers are nice but you need to be extra careful of they saying something nice during the interview. They express their opinions in distorted way that you think it's fine to explore a bit, but they already have their opinion settled if you don't understand their very subtle hints. In my case, somehow they deemed one of my live coding incomplete in the feedback which I totally disagree. They could just said that in the interview so I could just speed up.

Interview
I applied in april 2023. After 5(!) extremely time consuming interviews with 5 different people and a take-home task, I was rejected. The interviews were kind but some of them felt disinterested. The reason for their rejection was very vague, and they tried to present themselves as accomodating, but weren't really. It felt disrespectful after the ammount of time I wasted.
