I received AI-generated text messages after applying, followed by a request to visit a website and answer five interview questions in self-recorded video clips. Despite spending hours recording the videos, I never had any human contact.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Asked high level questions about past projects and career objectives
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Humana in Dec 2021
Interview
1st round with hiring manager (45 min):
1) Interview went well as the hiring manager drove nicely the whole time. Asks relevant questions from my previous job experience.
2) Hiring manager made a strong case of why I should choose his team among others.
3) About the culture, they have daily stand-ups which is a big turn-off for me. I personally feel data scientists can't provide updates on a daily basis.
4) Interviewer came from an engineering machine sensors/ IoT background, very new to healthcare. I got a feeling the interviewer doesn't like/understand the role of a member/provider of a healthcare system.
2nd round (tech-screen 1 hr):
1) This is a coding interview and not enough tools were provided during the interview esp., a coder pad, debugging tools. For e.g.,
no tools coder pad to solve python/SQL questions. The questions were sent in word document by email and I need to code in that word document by screen-sharing the zoom session. Easy to afford a coderpad. Makes life easy.
2) The communication by the interviewers is not well structured during the questions. Except for the lady in the room, the other interviewer was not at all interested in interviewing. Sadly the uninterested interviewer drove the whole interview.
3) I feel the process is to fail the candidate in the interview process. One of the four questions is very hard and can't be coded in that 1 hr time frame (except someone who had byhearted this question before).
4) I felt proper training should be given to the interviewers.

Question 1
Coding questions:
1) Merge two sorted linked lists and return it as a sorted list.
2) Given an integer array nums of 2m integers,group these integers into n pairs (p 1 , q 1 ), (p 2 , q 2 ), ...,
(p m , q m) such that the sum of min(p i , q i ) for all i is maximized. Return the maximized sum.
SQL questions:
Table 1 (column_names)
Member Name Vehicle Miles Year
3) What is the average number of miles driven by Members after 2015?
4) What is the percent of miles driven on each vehicle by each member?
