HealthSparq Interview Questions
& Process

Tivemos perguntas sobre experiências passadas e sobre pretensão salarial. Perguntaram também sobre a distância de casa para o trabalho. Foi uma entrevista tranquila. O RH valoriza quem quer crescer junto com a empresa. Tivemos uma dinâmica em grupo onde nos deixaram à vontade para falar de nossas experiências e perguntaram como nos vemos daqui a 5 anos.

I had some detailed chats with the team managers over video, like 2 or 3 meetings for about 30 minutes each. Then, there was a lunch to hang out with the team members. After that, we spent a good chunk of time just walking around Portland and talking. It was pretty unique, honestly. I actually had a couple more interviews with other teams at HealthSparq, but those were even more relaxed, mostly checking how I'd vibe with others. The final interview was with the CTO, and he really wanted to know about my long-term career goals and if HealthSparq could help me get there.

I had an interview for a Windows Systems Administrator role. First, I met the hiring manager and the person I would be replacing. The hiring manager was hostile and seemed angry that I wore a suit, felt my resume had too many bullet points, and then criticized them for not being long enough. When I discussed past projects, he interrupted to focus only on my individual contributions. He also cut me off when I explained a problem-solving process that involved contacting a vendor, accusing me of not doing real work. Despite this, I passed to the second round. The second interview was two hours long, split between technical and culture. The first hour was with SREs who didn't seem to fully grasp my role but focused on past experience rather than specific technical problems. I asked them about the company hierarchy and team interactions. The culture/fit interview was supposed to have two interviewers, but one didn't show. I interviewed with the incident response manager about my past experience and problem-solving approach. I asked him about his role and company adaptation. They hired someone else. I wouldn't return unless the initial hiring manager was gone. The company itself seems interesting with growth potential.

It was a one-way interview where they mostly asked questions and didn't answer mine. They gave me common CS 101 skill quizzes, saying they wanted to see how I acted under pressure. Every question I asked was met with another question, like when I asked about their software release process, they asked me what I thought it should be. Same for their Agile process management. It was a one-hour interview, and they revealed nothing. If they had offered me a job, I would have rejected it. It seems they've forgotten interviews are a two-way street.
