Doximity Interview Questions
& Process

So, first there was a coding challenge. Then, we had a 90-minute pair programming session, followed by a 60-minute backend interview and a 60-minute frontend interview. I really liked meeting the engineers, they seemed like great people to work with. A weird thing was that they asked for references pretty early on, even before the technical interviews. It felt awkward asking my colleagues for references at that point, and I almost didn't do it, but HR said it was just a quick questionnaire. When my former manager and colleagues got the reference requests, they told me how intense it was, like a mini performance review. One colleague even said the reference software was 'kind of creepy,' it went full-screen and warned them about mouse tracking when they tried to check dates on LinkedIn. The final straw was getting a super enthusiastic email from HR a week later about 'an update from the team!' I thought it was an offer, but it was actually a really bad way to deliver a rejection with no real feedback, just that I 'have potential,' which felt a little patronizing given my 20+ years of experience.

I started with a recruiter phone call about my background and interest. Then, I got a take-home coding test. They got back to me in a few days saying they hired someone. The recruiter did call to let me know, which was nice.

Had an initial screening call with HR. Then spoke with the hiring manager. After that, there were three more interviews with future teammates. They also had me do a case study and check my references. They ultimately said I didn't have the experience to lead an analytics team, which was weird because the job was for a product manager, not a lead or in analytics. Maybe they just picked someone they already knew. It felt disrespectful to go through all that, especially checking references, and then reject me for being unqualified. Big waste of my time.

It was very fast, completed in about 3 weeks. I had 5 interviews total. Started with a recruiter call, then a take-home assignment on Hackerrank (pro tip: look up the questions online; if you can't find them, don't waste time on it. They claim it's under 3 hours, but it took much longer. Your call though.). After that, it was 4 interviews back-to-back: the first was live coding with SQL and a review of the Hackerrank take-home, the second was a Python skills check (again, Google is your friend), the third was a product sense interview, and the final one was with the hiring manager, focusing mostly on behavioral questions and a lot of stats.
