Behavioral Coding System Design Presentation
It started with a phone screen with an engineering manager who asked some basic behavioral questions and gave more details about Genospace. Then, I got a technical question and an algorithm question to code in a Google doc. After that, I had a take-home system design assessment to complete in a week, followed by a discussion with a software engineer. Finally, there was an onsite interview where I had to implement my system design within five hours, with a lunch break. During lunch, the same engineering manager asked more behavioral questions. The onsite concluded with presenting my code. Overall, it was a really poor process. They focused heavily on front-end coding for a software engineer role. Also, the senior engineer I interacted with during the onsite was incredibly rude the whole day. I ended up declining their offer because I couldn't see myself working at a company that allows that kind of behavior from senior staff.

- Can you write a function to determine if a string is an anagram?
- Could you write an algorithm to compute the nth Fibonacci number?
- Design a web client for searching drug records and displaying suggestions as the user types. Upon selection, show more detailed information. The client should support searching by drug name or mechanism name, differentiate between them in suggestions, and allow viewing full drug records or associated drug collections for mechanisms.

Behavioral
The interview process involved two rounds. The first was a general phone screen and background check conducted by the office manager. The second round was a behavioral interview with another Product Owner. This interviewer seemed new to the process and just mechanically asked standard behavioral questions rather than having a conversation. They showed no interest in my background or experience during the 45 minutes and didn't leave time for me to ask about the role or company. It seems this company prioritizes behavioral aspects over a candidate's experience and data.

Behavioral Technical Presentation
Started with a recruiter call, then talked to the Director of Product, followed by an interview with a Designer, and finished with a panel interview that included a Product Owner and a Product Manager. The interviews were great, and everyone on the team was very easy to talk. After all that, I got a generic automated message saying I wasn't selected. It was disheartening and frustrating after spending so much time preparing and interviewing. I reached out for feedback but heard nothing back.

Coding
I found this internship opportunity on Linkedin and applied. A coding challenge came my way in about 3-4 weeks. I was given a week to finish it. The questions weren't too hard, and I could pick the programming language I wanted. I had to solve 3 questions, which took me around half an hour.
Confirmed questions3 questions
- Could you implement the Fibonacci Series?
- How would you check for Anagrams?
- What is the process for Analyzing Time Complexity?
