I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Forward (San Francisco, CA) in Mar 2024
Interview
It was an introductory call with me explaining my interest with a few generic behavioral questions.
I thought I did well but was rejected the next day. The questions were pretty open ended, so I don't know what the "correct answer" to those was.
As a side note, this company's business model seems very very sketchy. They're trying to solve a major problem by making even more complicated. This reminds me a lot of Theranos.
I know you may be excited for the interview but stay away. There are other companies that will come along. I have no idea where Forward is headed.

Question 1
Tell me another company that you would love to work for (other than Forward)
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.
