I interviewed at SamaCare (San Francisco, CA) in Jun 2022
Interview
2 technical phone screenings, then a 3 hour virtual onsite. Onsite consisted of a design interview, a cross cultural interview, and a leet code like problem. The leet code problem wasn't too hard, mostly was related to array manipulations.
Company cancelled interview 3 minutes before call when they knew 24hours ahead of time that they had already filled the position.
Extremely unprofessional behavior from this company with no consideration for my time spent.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at SamaCare (San Francisco, CA) in Jul 2022
Interview
First interview was with VP of Engineering and involved two technical problems, write a basic SQL query, write a basic function that processes some backend logic, syntax was not important. More interested in problem solving than having runnable syntax-perfect code. Also Q&A on why SamaCare and behavioral.
Final round was a panel with culture / behavioral round. Then a system design round with CTO where I explained the architecture of a system I worked on as well as pros/cons of each architectural component. Very high level. Final round was another coding problem involving working with JSON data and writing a function in any language I liked (I used JS) to process the data.
Total of about 4 hours of interviewing. Par for the course for software interviews.
