It was a good interview experience, very responsive and professional. It was a bit lengthy though. The first round was online. Then there was a generic question round, followed by an HM round, then a technical round, then a project experience round, and finally a round with the leader. Overall a good process.

Behavioral Technical
Applied online. First up was an AI chatbot interview where I had to type answers to typical behavioral questions and confirm my past experiences. Then, there was a panel interview with three people from the team I'd be joining. The interviewers were nice and the vibe was great. I think I scheduled it late, as they mentioned I was the last person interviewed. They were specifically looking for someone with Power BI visualization skills, which I didn't have direct experience in, so I got rejected about 10 days after the interview.

Behavioral Coding Technical
The first round was with the hiring manager for about 45 minutes. It went okay, the manager led the conversation well and asked good questions about my past work. They also made a good pitch for why I should join their team. However, they mentioned daily stand-ups, which I'm not a fan of, as I don't think data scientists can really give meaningful updates that often. The interviewer seemed to come from an engineering background focused on machine sensors/IoT and wasn't very familiar with healthcare, making me feel like they didn't quite grasp the role within a healthcare system. The second round was a 1-hour tech screen. It was supposed to be a coding interview but lacked basic tools like a coder pad or debugging features, which was frustrating for Python/SQL questions. They sent the questions in a Word doc via email, and I had to code directly in Word while screen-sharing on Zoom, which is really inconvenient when a coderpad is easily available. Communication from the interviewers wasn't great; one was clearly uninterested and ended up leading the interview, which felt off. I suspect the process is designed to make candidates fail. One of the four questions was extremely difficult and seemed impossible to code within the hour unless you'd memorized it. Interviewers really should get proper training.

- Could you merge two sorted linked lists and return the result as a single sorted list?
- Imagine you have an integer array nums with 2m integers. How would you group these into n pairs (p 1 , q 1 ), (p 2 , q 2 ), ..., (p m , q m) to maximize the sum of the minimums of each pair (min(p i , q i ))?
- From Table 1, what's the average mileage logged by Members after the year 2015?
