      Software Engineer New Grad Interview

      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through an employee referral. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Collective Health (San Francisco, CA) in Oct 2018

      Interview

      I was referred by a current employee. After about 3 weeks my friend sent in my resume, I was invited to a 1 hour Video conference with other applicants to talk about the company. Steps: 1). 1 hour video conference with other applicants to discuss the company (only company representatives talked, applicants were not required to say anything but could chime in with QA questions). 2). Online Assessment - Graded for accuracy and efficiency (around 3 questions). Feedback was provided immediately with how well you did. 3). 30 Minute Phone Interview with Hiring Manager - I thought this would be technical (recruiter was not very clear after I followed up with her), but it turned out to be entirely behavioral. Asked me about myself, my projects, etc. Dived into depth with my projects such as "If you could only choose one feature to implement before releasing the product, how would you choose which feature took precedence?". Thoroughly enjoyed this interview. The hiring manager was cool, calm, collected, and made me feel completely at ease and I felt like I was just talking about my project with a longtime friend. Great experience 4). Onsite - 4 Interviews 1:1 interview total. a). 1 hour - Coding - Although my interviewer was very nice, they admitted they were a front-end developer (nothing wrong with this) and might not know some computer science fundamentals. For example, I was thinking of Dynamic Programming as a possible solution and he straight up told me (I don't know what that is), so could not confirm or deny whether it was worth pursuing. I don't fault him for not knowing DP, but I wish the interview schedulers would have paired me more efficiently. b). 1 hour - System Design - Basically design a parking lot. Walked through different requirements, classes, methods, etc. Talked about optimizations and such and different scenarios. c). 1 hour - Behavioral/culture fit d). 1 hour - Behavioral/culture fit HR representative told me that I they would make a decision by that night (Thursday) and I would hear back Friday EOD. After the weekend passed, I followed up EOD Monday and an HR representative gave me a call on Tuesday morning to let me know that although I received 4 "thumbs up", there were simply better fits and they would not be moving forward. Overall, I had a good experience. I hope CH succeeds at what they're trying to do as Healthcare is too important of an issue to remain as it is today.

      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied through university. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Collective Health in Oct 2018

      Interview

      Met Collective Health at an on-campus career fair. After watching a live-streamed presentation on the company, candidates were sent a coding challenge that wasn't too bad. Couple easy and a medium question. After that, I spoke on the phone with a hiring manager. Phone call went well and at the end of the call the manager told me I'd be moving on to the next round. I waited for over a week with no response. Finally, I emailed to check my status, and received a reply that while they wanted me on-site, they had filled almost all positions, so it didn't make sense to schedule me. Overall the process felt more lengthy than it had to be. They sent the coding challenge three days after they said they would, they took a while to schedule my calls, and they were very late/unresponsive in replying to emails. I understand they are likely dealing with high volume of applicants, but it's frustrating to lose out on something because positions were filled before you could interview, in part because your contacts were slow to move you forward.
