Coding Technical Presentation
I got put in touch with a recruiter through a friend, and we had a quick chat about the company. Then, the recruiter connected me with the PM for the team. I spoke with the PM, and after that, I did a HackerRank takehome which had an algorithm to solve and a frontend assessment focused on CSS. Following that, I went on-site for interviews with 4 people from the team. If I advance, I'll have another round with the PM and then the CTO.

The whole interview process from start to end was disorganized. Interviewers were in a hurry and would not spend time trying to understand the proposed solutions. At one point during the interview I was asked to leave the building and come back after 1 hour because the interviewer had to attend a meeting. The interview process was pretty standard. First interview was a 45 min Skype session with one of the senior engineers. We talked a little about my background and projects I worked on and then asked to solve an algorithm problem. After that I was invited onsite for another round of interviews. 2nd round consisted of 4 interviews, mostly solving algorithm problems that were pretty easy. Got an offer after 2 days.

Technical Coding Behavioral
I applied to HealthTap because I read about them and was interested in their work. The interviews were standard technical interviews, like Google or Facebook, with multi-part coding problems and brain teasers. I'm not a big fan of those types of questions, as I don't think they predict job success well. The interviewers seemed really disinterested, like they were being forced to interview me, and it showed. They also kept me very late, past 7 PM, which is unusual. The company culture seemed a bit off too, with engineers on the bottom floor and non-engineers on the top. It felt like a sweatshop with tired coders working hard. The CTO came off as arrogant and unpleasant. I was initially excited to interview, but after reading other reviews (especially the negative ones, as I think the positive ones are fake), I think I'm better off not working there. It doesn't seem like a great place to work.
