Technical Technical
This was the worst interview experience ever for a .Net Core, Sql Backend Dev role. I completed two tech rounds, and then HR told me my experience wasn't enough and they weren't moving forward. They rescheduled interviews a lot while scheduling the first two rounds. HR doesn't communicate, they don't know what's going on. The second round was rescheduled 4 times! So, there are lots of management issues. The interviewers were really good and humble, the difficulty was low, and the interview was smooth and interactive.

Technical Coding
The interview process at Evolent Health was excellent, and the HR representative was very communicative, clearly outlining each step. I received feedback within 24 hours after each interview. They placed too much emphasis on SQL skills, specifically MS SQL Server, which I felt was not representative of the actual job requirements. While the SQL test was fair, it might disproportionately affect candidates who don't need extensive SQL proficiency for the role. I believe they've since changed this approach.

Behavioral Technical Coding
They said I'd get behavioral questions, but it was all technical stuff like coding on a whiteboard and talking about my past work. It was a bit of a bummer because they used terms for design patterns and algorithms that I've used before but didn't know the exact names for, so I stumbled on some answers. Also, they mentioned STAR method for behavioral questions, so I prepped for that, but I should have been brushing up on algorithms and design patterns terminology instead.
