NeuroFlow Interview Questions
& Process

Applied online. I had a 30 min phone screen with HR first. Then I met with the Director of Engineering a week later for another 30 mins. Things were looking good. After that, I had a technical interview with 2 engineers the following week. They had me build a Python library with basic CRUD operations using OOP principles in CoderPad. I thought this would be easy given my background, but I guess not? I'm not sure what they were looking for, but it felt like I missed the mark. They could have been more direct. The interviewers themselves were nice though, really upbeat and attentive. I got rejected a few days later.

I went through about 3 to 4 interview rounds for this position. It involved speaking with the hiring manager, the department manager, the department director, and then ultimately the COO. The whole process took about a month. After each interview, they let me know I was moving forward and usually set up the next one within a day or two. The interviewers asked some tough questions but also made me feel really comfortable and connected. Neuroflow did a fantastic job keeping me updated on how things were going. I could really sense their enthusiasm for the role and the field, which made me even more interested in the company.

The interview experience was pretty good, and it moved along pretty fast, about a month from the first call to the offer. I had an initial chat with HR, and then immediately talked to the hiring manager, who's also the COO & Co-Founder. We talked about whether my experiences and skills were a good fit, if my interests and career goals aligned with the role, and if my personality would fit with the company culture. I also had to submit some of my previous work and explain how I approach building business cases, managing projects, and so on. Everyone I met was really genuine and clearly passionate about NeuroFlow's mission and mental health. They really live their values. My only suggestion is to speed up the hiring process a bit because things can change fast in a month, especially with other offers on the table.

Despite reading negative feedback about their interview process, I decided to apply with an open mind. However, my experience mirrored the complaints of others. For a behavioral health company, their approach to candidates seemed out of touch with human behavior, showing a lack of decency and respect. In their strong focus on ensuring a candidate fits the role and culture, they overlooked the humanity of the candidates. I went through 6 interview rounds over 5 weeks and was asked to complete a project that took up most of my weekend. After completing all this, I didn't hear back. When I followed up, I was informed, "sorry we filled the position."
