I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at HCSS (Houston, TX) in Jun 2019
Interview
1. Apply online
2. Take a test with like 15 question (gre type questions)
3. Fifteen minute phone interview with HR.
4. In person interview if they want to move forward
The job description says if you went through college and wished you did computer science or learned how to code they will teach you. Honestly ignore that, after speaking with them they highly favor people who already know how to code.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
1. Why HCSS
2. Describe any coding projects I have done
I applied online, then I had a 20 minute behavioral phone interview. Afterwards I was given an coding algorithm assignment to access coding skills. After that I would be contacted if I got selected for follow up interview.

Before even being considered, you have to answer at least 11 questions correctly on a 14-question algebra test. The first time I took it, I got 10/14. However, I was sent an email from the company to be allowed to have a re-do, which I appreciate. I was asked to do a phone interview not too soon after, however, did not move on from that point. I did receive feedback from my phone interview, which I appreciate.
