Maven Clinic Interview Questions
& Process

I recently interviewed at Maven Clinic and had a really positive experience. There were two interview rounds, and the interviewers were excellent – experienced, engaged, and easy to talk to. You could tell they genuinely liked working there from how they discussed their jobs. The recruiting team was also great, being responsive, informative, and helpful.

Had seven interviews in total with team members and stakeholders. Two of the interviews were live technical assessments. Each interview focused on a different area, and the recruiter did a good job prepping me for each one. However, there were a few issues. I didn't have much time to ask my own questions in most calls. The hiring manager didn't directly answer my questions, which were mainly about strategy and leadership, and then ended the interview really rudely and abruptly. Based on this and other reviews, it wasn't a great experience.

The interview process included a 30-minute phone call with HR, followed by a 45-minute Zoom interview with the director, and then a 30-minute Zoom interview with the chief of staff. After that, there was a 30-minute Zoom interview with the creative team, and finally a 1-hour interview with the CMO. They also assigned an unpaid social strategy project which had 8 questions. References were contacted, and the whole process took over a month. It was quite a lengthy process, and communication wasn't the best, making me feel like they didn't really respect my time. I had another offer, but they made me wait two weeks to reject me late on a Friday, after I had to chase them for an update. This put my other job offer in jeopardy. My references were surprised by the rejection because they had given great feedback and were led to believe an offer was coming. It felt very misleading and the lack of communication was frustrating. Requiring an unpaid project in 2025 is also not ideal.

First, there was a phone screening with a recruiter. We talked about my past projects, especially my experience in the telemedicine sector, which is similar to their digital clinic work. Then I interviewed with the Engineering Manager. We again discussed my projects and what I'm looking for in terms of team dynamics. I got an email about 30 minutes later saying they were moving me forward to the technical interview. The email mentioned it would be a conversational interview, not a coding exercise. For the technical interview, the first attempt, the interviewer didn't show up. I waited 30 minutes and then contacted the recruiter. They replied 4 hours later, saying there was a mix-up and another recruiter would reschedule. I didn't hear from the new recruiter, so after two days, I used their scheduling link to reschedule myself and sent the confirmation to the original recruiter. After another day, she finally confirmed that method would work. For the second attempt, the interviewer was 10 minutes late. They mentioned they'd only been there two months and were surprised they were interviewing. It turned out to be the same interviewer who missed the first appointment. The technical assessment went reasonably well, covering both high-level architecture and patterns, and a deep dive into platform-specific technical decisions. Then, they told me they would send a link for a live coding portion, which was unexpected since it wasn't supposed to be a coding exercise. I managed it, and it was productive. The instruction was simply to 'walk through the code.' After a day without hearing back, I reached out to the recruiter about the surprise coding exercise. I got an automated response 20 minutes later stating they were proceeding with other candidates. Overall, I was thankful for the experience and the practice, despite the perceived dysfunctionality of their people team, which I've heard about from others.
