I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Forward (San Francisco, CA) in Jan 2024
Interview
I participated in a pre-screening call with a senior engineer as part of the interview process. During the conversation, we discussed my previous professional experience in detail, focusing on the specific roles and responsibilities I have handled in the past. The senior engineer also asked me several scenario-based questions, presenting real-world situations that I might encounter on the job. These questions were designed to assess my problem-solving abilities, technical knowledge, and approach to overcoming challenges in a practical work environment.

Question 1
If you would develop a product in future, what would it be
Great! Focused system design + average leetcode questions. Behavioral interview was very nice and straightforward. Systems design interview include building a scribe tool for doctors to use. Was more a paired session with the interviewer.
It was pretty normal as far as interviews in tech go for entry level engineers. It felt like they were spending more time selling me on their product than on questioning me. Some standard Leetcode style question.

Question 1
Something about the minimum travel distance on a keyboard grid.
Medium difficulty. Interviewed before the company abruptly shut down. Like the team, did not get many specifics about the business, particularly regarding the care pods. It was a few phone screens and then onsite.
