I applied online. I interviewed at CVS Health (Wellesley, MA)
Interview
phone screening lasted around 10 minutes, with very general questions and some job description. The recruiter wanted to learn about me and asked several questions about skills level and described the requirements

Interview
The interview process so far has had two rounds. The first round was with the recruiter, where we discussed my background, work experience, resume, and compensation expectations. The second round was with a Staff Engineer, which was more technical and focused on my hands-on experience, technical concepts, and problem-solving approach.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
1. Can you walk me through your resume and explain your background, projects, and experience related to data engineering or data analytics?
1. If a customer has 100 rows of data but only wants unique records, how would you retrieve the unique data?
2. Describe a situation where you had to handle conflicting requirements from two stakeholders. How did you manage the situation and reach a solution?
3. Tell me about a time when you identified an issue in data or reporting before it impacted the business. What steps did you take to resolve it?
I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at CVS Health in Jun 2024
Interview
I was contacted by a recruiter on LinkedIn at the end of April. Had an introductory call with her and she told me she would get back to me. About a month later after ghosting me she reappears saying there was another Associate Data Engineer position available. I was scheduled for an interview early June this time.
During the interview I quickly noticed how most of the questions asked were very vague and seemed as if they were randomly thought of at the moment and not prepared beforehand. For the coding portion I was just given a screenshot of some random code and told to enhance it. About 3 weeks later I learned I was not chosen for the role, not by anyone at CVS but because I kept reaching out to the recruiter. I believe I was not chosen for the role because of my gender and race. Especially since I was not given any feedback of the interview.
