I applied through other source. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Better (New York, NY) in Oct 2021
Interview
I got to know about Better from GHC 21. I got their invitation to complete assessment which was on Codility. On clearing that, I received an interview invite within 2 days. I set it up for the nearest available date. The interview was smooth with people greeting me as if I am already an employee. It was a zero pressure environment where they had a format for their behavioral round and a coding round on coderpad.
Got an offer within 3 days(weekend).
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
String replacement on coderpad. More of pair programming , with hints that helped a lot.
I initially received a coding assessment that had three questions (return the day of the week x days in the future, return the largest integer that can be obtained by removing one 5 from a given integer, and another I can't remember).
Then I had a 1 hour Karat interview where I was asked to describe myself and some details of a project I worked on. Then I had to code three problems and describe the runtime and space complexity of each of my solutions. After that, I received an invitation for a virtual on-site interview where I met with two of their engineers.
One asked me to describe myself and projects I've worked on, and we did a code review where I was asked to look at several pieces of code and describe what's happening. There were also other questions about bugs and design (e.g. what's wrong with this code? What would you do differently?).
Ultimately, Better decided to pause their hiring process after my on-site interview.

Interview
2 rounds of technical interview.
First round is 1.5 hour online coding assessment with 3 questions.
Second round is 1hr interview via karat. 15 min about past experience, 45min for coding. I finished 1 question and only have around 6 min to provide a brief solution.

Interview
Codility Challenge: 3 problems and 1.5hrs to complete.
Finished the codility assessment with time still remaining. Got an email the next day saying they would move on from my application with no feedback as to why due to privacy policy. It was very confusing.
