Limeade Interview Questions
& Process

For the PHSO, you need to prepare a short summary of the whole complaint. It should cover what the complainant thinks went wrong, the effects, and what they want to happen. Then, write your decision on the issue about the Practice’s actions on the patient’s symptoms relating to cancer diagnosis. Explain why you made that decision. Use the PHSO’s service model guidance and the evidence you have to make a decision that fits PHSO’s quality standards.

I found the job on LinkedIn and applied through their website. I got a call from the HR recruiter, we chatted, and they really sold the company to me. They asked about my compensation expectations, which seemed like a red flag, but I said I was interested and they scheduled me for a 1-hour call with a senior software developer. They asked me a bunch of technical questions, mostly basic stuff for a Front End Dev. After that, I was invited for an on-site interview where I felt I did really well, but ultimately didn't get an offer, likely because they hired someone for less. I'd recommend asking about their salary ranges upfront to avoid wasting a lot of time.

Started with a recruiter call that was mostly behavioral, focusing on why I'm interested in Limeade. The recruiter mentioned how quickly the process moves, which it did, but the end felt a bit off. Next, a technical phone screen where the interviewer had connection issues, but was patient as I worked through the problem. Heard back the next day about an on-site interview. The on-site had three sessions, each with two interviewers. It was mostly technical, with a few behavioral questions from each pair. One of the technical questions was a bit strange – a specific recipe program problem where the interviewer seemed to want only one particular solution. I eventually figured it out, drew a data-flow diagram, and coded it quickly. Later, I learned from a senior developer friend that the data structure I used wasn't the most common choice for that problem. Got a standard rejection email three days later, which was disappointing given how communicative they were initially. They had promised specific feedback if rejected, but that didn't happen. The company seemed good overall, but the process had some unusual aspects.

I applied and was contacted by a recruiter. We set up a phone call, which happened on time. We had a good chat about my experience and how it aligned with the company's needs, as well as my management style and how it fit the company culture. It seemed like a good match. The recruiter then asked about my salary expectations. Normally, I don't answer this question so early on. My salary needs are actually a bit below the average for this type of role in this location, so I shared that information. You could tell the recruiter's tone shifted because they were apparently looking for someone less expensive. I was told I'd get an update in a week, but after two weeks, I followed up via email. The response said I'd hear back in about a week. I never heard from them again.
