I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Kareo (Irvine, CA) in July 2017.

Interview

First had a gating call with one of the UX designers to talk about the role and the company's general approach to doing UX work.

Once past the first call, I had a phone screen with HR to talk about how the company generally runs and the benefits that would be available to me.

Then follows the onsite interview. I met with various team members from development to marketing to product management. Some meetings were in an interview format. The meeting with product managers involved a whiteboard session where I had to brainstorm issues and solutions to a fictional problem. Lastly, I presented slides I prepared for a design challenge that was given to me after the HR phone call.

There was another onsite interview where I spoke with more team leaders including my potential immediate supervisor.

Application

I applied online. I interviewed at Kareo (Irvine, CA) in June 2017.

Interview

Applied online, went through phone interview, was asked to come onsite.

Went through interview with different groups of people for 3 hours. Technical questions - algorithms, data structures, design, web API, problem solving.

I was stuck on some aspects of algorithm white-board coding, although I explained how to solve the algorithm verbally. Was kind of a big mood killer when they showed negativity very openly, saying things like "there's no point to ask anything else". Then there was a question with an answer that nobody would guess what's on that person's mind. Question was on what to do to optimize RESTful web API performance. After several approaches it turns out they were looking for "make RESTful API stateless" - really? I commented saying, "it is stateless by definition" and got as reply - "well, sometimes it could have state"... Then there was a question on SQL query - I think they were shooting for "WITH"-kind of grouping query - I didn't remember the syntax on how it should be. But this last one was under the negativity that they had started showing and rushing to get it over with. This was with the first group of engineers. After they left, I saw and heard them talking to another group - one guy was very distinctively shaking his head and saying, "he's no good". After this I really just wanted to wrap it up and leave.

The next group of people I think felt my discouragement, I answered the questions pretty well in my point of view, but it took me some time to pull myself together after the first round :). There was a question they asked on algorithm which turned out to be poorly asked - I created a piece of code that was doing one thing according to the task I heard and was told at the end that the task was something else - they were not clear on that.

The third group of people was concerned about my mood and the impression I made - I explained why I was feeling that way and sincerely apologized. We had great conversation - some design questions, some software and web API.

Overall - great company, great tour, atmosphere, I really liked it, but the interview process wasn't that of a good experience for me :)

Interview

I was found on LinkedIn by their corporate recruiter and agreed to a phone call about the position. Gretchen did an extremely good job of conveying what they were looking for in a candidate and also made me laugh a few times! In person interviews with sales manager and sales director were informative and pleasant. Make sure you're well-versed in the sales process as this is a fundamental topic they want to focus on. Overall, best interview process I've experienced.
