The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Forward (San Francisco, CA) in May 2024
Interview
Really responsive HR and a quick process! I had a great experience with the behavioral interview. My interviewer was very engaged and asked some unique questions. I didn't get asked any of the standard, hard-to-answer questions like "tell me about your greatest weakness". Overall was a great experience.

Question 1
If you were given two job offers, how would you analyze and decide between the two? What may be some deciding factors?
Great! Focused system design + average leetcode questions. Behavioral interview was very nice and straightforward. Systems design interview include building a scribe tool for doctors to use. Was more a paired session with the interviewer.
It was pretty normal as far as interviews in tech go for entry level engineers. It felt like they were spending more time selling me on their product than on questioning me. Some standard Leetcode style question.

Question 1
Something about the minimum travel distance on a keyboard grid.
Medium difficulty. Interviewed before the company abruptly shut down. Like the team, did not get many specifics about the business, particularly regarding the care pods. It was a few phone screens and then onsite.
